These were terms that were agreed upon following engagement with the relevant stakeholders and individuals. The language is broad enough to encompass all variations relating to an individual who may have come to harm. There are proposals to include some other types of language as well. However, we were informed that this wording is broad enough to cover what is required. It is similar to my comments on harassment and that it covers stalking as well.
