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 behaviours by empowering people to become active rather than passive bystanders.This opportunity also supports the #JogOn Campaign.Information and support will also be given arround the 'Ask for Angela' campaign. Ask for Angela is a national scheme that helps anyone who is feeling vulnerable on a night out to get the support they need. We will provide you with information about how the scheme works and how you can use it.
