Active Bystander

An active bystander is someone who not only witnesses unacceptable behaviour, but who chooses to act and challenge that behaviour to disrupt a potentially problematic situation or keep it from escalating. A bystander can prevent harmful situations and deal with the potential outcomes.
This course explores the impact of harmful behaviours and provides you with skills to intervene confidently and in ways that create lasting change.

The course aims to prevent workplace bullying, microaggressions and harmful institutional group norms which systematically disadvantage some groups over others. Crucially, it develops your confidence to intervene skilfully in harmful situations and to create healthier workplace cultures.

  • notice, identify and reflect on harmful behaviours with a particular focus on discrimination, and the relationship between seemingly low-level ‘banter’ behaviours and more serious harm
  • cultivate awareness of the impact of harm at different levels
  • build collective responsibility and motivation to take action to respond to and prevent harmful behaviour
  • develop practical skills to intervene confidently and in ways that create lasting change
