The All About Respect bystander programme aims to empower individuals to become an active bystander, and be part of the solution in stopping and preventing harassment in their community. The training is funded in part by the North Yorkshire Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner.

Evidence suggests that sexual violence, harassment, and hate crime are frequent experiences for many people across society, particularly university students. We have developed this Bystander Intervention Training to raise awareness of the problematic issue of sexual harm, and highlight the power of bystander behaviour.

In this train the trainer session we will cover the bystander intervention training, providing a background to bystander intervention, key research findings on sexual violence in the UK, alongside an overview of how the training can be applied and adapted to other forms of interpersonal violence. Upon completion of the training, you will receive a certificate of attendance The training is open to anyone working with adolescents and young adults, who are keen to find out more about how to tackle sexual harassment in their communities.

This training session will be delivered online, and all course materials (including training slides) will be available electronically.

Previous feedback on the training

This training was really informative and provided me with non-confrontational ways I can help people.

Very informative and well explained with good accompanying resources.

As someone who wishes to learn more about sexual harassment and how to intervene this was really helpful. I've always thought that the best way was to act aggressive so scare off any threats, but this has been helpful in showing me otherwise.

I was a little scared to do this training, however I am so happy I did as I have a clearer understanding of sexual violence and what a bystander is.

Future training dates

10am 16th November
