This session on bystander intervention training is taking place as part of the RA CPD programme for 2024/25. This session will centre around misconduct, with particular focus on sexual misconduct, enabling you to challenge this. Please note that this session is for Residential Advisers only.
This training session will be led by staff from the Guild of Students. The session will last for 2 hours, and will take place in person at the Guild (in the Guild Library) on Wednesday 13th November, 18:00-20:00.
Please note, whilst this workshop is not mandatory training, it is training that we believe is beneficial to your RA role and we would strongly advise all RAs who have not previously received Bystander Intervention training to attend. If you have previously attended Bystander Intervention training but would like to refresh your knowledge, please also feel free to attend.

What does the session involve?
The Bystander Intervention workshop aims to improve your knowledge and understanding of sexual misconduct, other types of misconduct and to encourage you to feel empowered to challenge it.
The session explores different approaches to intervention and looks at scenarios to explore barriers and enablers to the types of interventions available.
Increased knowledge of bystander intervention has shown to lead to reduced incidents, increased reporting and a culture where victims feel supported and empowered. As RAs, we see you as a key group to take part in the training. Becoming an active bystander can create a safer and more inclusive community that everyone is a part of.
