Transcend Level 3 Award for Stalking Awareness Campaigners in Education Environments

The Transcend Level 3 Award for Stalking Awareness Campaigners in Education Environments is the second qualification in the suite. It is uniquely designed for those who fulfil vocational roles that require them to work with young people in any types of educational environment.  

Learner’s will develop skills required to raise awareness of stalking through effective planning, execution and evaluation of the impact of campaigns. They will develop the skills required to execute campaigns through a range of media.  

The intent is to raise awareness of stalking through the deployment of qualified Campaigners as defined by the Alice Ruggles Trust and their education partner St Mary’s University.  

Alice Ruggles was murdered in 2016, aged just 24, by an ex-boyfriend following a relentless campaign of stalking. Stalking is a seriously distressing and potentially life-threatening crime. This needs to be recognised by everyone. Stalking behaviour must result in immediate action both to protect the victim and to deal effectively with the perpetrator.  

The Alice Ruggles Trust was established by Alice’s family. It exists to raise awareness of stalking which includes coercive control, to ensure that relevant legislation is effective and adhered to, and to bring about lasting improvements in the management of perpetrators and the protection of victims. The Trust is a member of the National Stalking Consortium. The Alice Ruggles Trust’s mission is to help prevent what happened to Alice happening to others. This suite is designed to underpin the important work of the Alice Ruggles Trust in support of their mission: ‘We need to bring stalking to an end’. 

This qualification is developed in collaboration with Alice Ruggles Trust and St Mary’s University as the technical partners. It is validated through consultation with equality and education experts.  

This qualification is exclusively delivered to learners though St Mary’s University.
