Active Bystander Training Part 1:
Online Module

This module will allow you to familiarise yourself with the definitions of bullying, harassment and sexual misconduct, it walks you through example scenarios that illustrate how these behaviours might occur and provides you with information about support services available both on- and off-campus.

At the end of the online module, take a short quiz that tests your knowledge of the topics discussed in the training. You will need a pass mark of at least 80% to be able to attend part 2: Live Workshop.

Active Bystander Training Part 2:
Live Workshop

The workshop builds on the knowledge gained in the online module and will teach you the practical skills that will allow safe intervention should you ever witness a situation where someone is being mistreated. These sessions also offer a chance for you to ask questions and discuss bullying, harassment and sexual misconduct with your peers.

You must get a pass mark of at least 80% in the online module to be able to attend a live workshop.
