Active Bystander Programme 2024

The Active Bystander Programme aims to give you the knowledge and practical skills to be an Active Bystander in you community – that is, learning to be aware of others' behaviours and, when the behaviour is inappropriate, choosing to challenge it in a safe way.

The programme is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for all new students and consists of two parts – an online module and a live workshop. You must take part in both components to complete the training.

1. ONLINE MODULE

More information about the programme and link to the online module can be found here:

The online module takes around 30 minutes and will allow you to familiarise yourself with the definitions of bullying, harassment and sexual misconduct. It will cover example scenarios that illustrate how these behaviours might occur and provide you with information about support services available both on- and off-campus.

At the end of the online module, you will take a short quiz that will test your knowledge of the topics discussed in the training. You must get a pass mark of at least 80% to be able to attend a live workshop.

1. ONLINE LIVE WORKSHOP

The workshop builds on the knowledge gained in the online module and teaches you practical skills that will allow you to safely intervene should you ever witness a situation where someone is being mistreated. These sessions also offer a chance for you to ask questions and discuss bullying, harassment and sexual misconduct with your peers.

The online workshop lasts 90 minutes including 15 minutes for you to ask questions and fill in the feedback form, which is also used to monitor attendance.
