Active Bystander Training

Active Bystander Training Session

Description: West Yorkshire Police within the Bradford District are offering a free Active Bystander session.

This opportunity also supports the recently launched #JogOn Campaign.

Join us for an interactive training session on how to be an effective bystander in various situations. Learn practical skills to intervene and support others in need. This in-person event will be held at Javelin House Police Station and is open to anyone interested in attending.

Parking is available at the Police Sation or at Morrison over the road, free of charge.

Don't miss this opportunity to make a positive impact in your community or workplace !

The session takes around 2 hours in total, is interactive and will enable attendees to take an active part in gaining some further knowledge around being an ‘Active Bystander’. The topics covered include:

• The role of bystander in the prevention of abuse.
• Identify a range of tools that can be used to safely support/challenge others.
• Ways to support individuals who may disclose abuse.
• Active discussion around the topic or sexual violence and abuse and how a bystander can support this abuse.

We are all bystanders, who witness events unfolding around us. Sometimes we recognise events as being problematic. When this happens, we decide to do or say something and become an active bystander (either in the moment or at a later stage) or to simply let it go and remain a passive bystander. Social norms can be shifted to challenge undesirable behaviour by empowering people to become active rather than passive bystanders.
