Paladin ISAC Training
Accredited Independent Stalking Advocacy Caseworker Training
Paladin developed an accredited Independent Stalking Advocacy Caseworker (ISAC) training course, designed for professionals working with victims of stalking. This training has enabled Paladin to establish a network of ISACs across the UK.
Alongside the ISAC course, Paladin have developed a support hub for Paladin trained ISACs to offer continuous professional development and support, as their journey continues as an ISAC.
Why do we need ISACs?
Paladin was one of the first services that recognised the need for specialist stalking advocates. Paladins’ specialist knowledge comes from supporting thousands of high-risk victims of stalking since the service was founded in 2013.
Our team of experienced ISACs support victims of stalking to navigate the criminal justice system. As well as providing direct casework, Paladin recognised the need to share knowledge and experience and upskill the workforce, which led to the development of training courses and the Hub.
It is important that there are more ISACs across the UK as their specialist knowledge and advocacy is vital in keeping victims and their children safe.
What service will ISACs provide to victims of stalking?
- Trauma informed support
- Advice and information
- Advocacy to ensure your voice is heard through the criminal justice system
- Risk assessment and individualised safety planning
- Guidance through the Criminal and Civil Courts process
- Access to stalking trauma support group

I thought the training was excellent - the content was really useful. The trainers were very engaging and kept it interesting throughout. It is a really important subject and I felt they got the points across well in an engaging way. They have obviously put a lot of work into this training and it really shows!
