Bystander Intervention Training

Bringing in the Bystander® is a bystander intervention workshop with a robust evidence-base.

Rather than focusing strictly on the roles of perpetrator and victim, the highly interactive Bringing in The Bystander® curriculum uses a community responsibility approach. It teaches bystanders how to safely intervene in instances where sexual violence, relationship violence or stalking may be occurring or where there may be a risk that it will occur.

Sexual violence

Sexual violence is any unwanted sexual act or activity, including rape, sexual assault, and sexual harassment. It can be perpetrated by a stranger or by someone known and even trusted, including a friend, a colleague, family member, partner or ex-partner.

Workshops

These workshops will help students, academics, professional services staff and community members to:

• Identify behaviours on a continuum of violence
• Develop empathy for those who have experienced violence
• Practise safe and appropriate intervention skills
• Commit to intervene before, during and after an incident of sexual abuse, relationship violence or stalking occurs
