Active Bystander and Allyship Training

An active bystander describes someone who takes positive action to prevent or reduce harm to others when they encounter prejudice, discrimination, harassment or identify-based violence.  This interactive online workshop is led by identify-based violence prevention charity Protection Approaches and has been developed in partnership with the Britain’s East and Southeast Asian Network (besea.n) The expert led session sees participants guided through a series of discussions to explore how they can play a role in tackling identify-based harms in their community or place of work.

Content:

• What is means to be an active bystander: group discussion
• Standing up for victims: working through a series of scenarios, participants consider and learn what they can do when they encounter situations such as a racist attack in a supermarket or an inappropriate comment from a colleague.
• Proactive prevention: returning to the scenarios to reflect on the root causes of prejudice and discrimination before discussing ways they could contribute to building safer, more inclusive communities.

This training is free and open to any voluntary group but we do ask you to commit to attending when you book and give reasonable notice if you need to cancel.  The training will not run without a minimum of 10 attendees.
