Take the new bystander intervention programme at SETU
SETU is committed to ensuring a culture of respect, consent and safety across our university, and to creating a culture of zero tolerance to any form of sexual harassment or violence.
SETU launched its Bystander Intervention Programme, and is asking all staff to take the programme to help create a culture of respect and consent within the SETU community.
Everyone in the SETU community has a role to play in preventing sexual violence and harassment. With the right skills, you can make a difference by helping others, stepping in, and speaking up to help prevent sexual harassment or violence.
Prizes:
For the first month of the programme, all staff members who complete the training will automatically be entered in a weekly draw for Apple Air Pods.
The online Bystander Intervention programme will teach you
- how to recognise unacceptable behaviour,
- what the barriers to intervention are
- how to overcome them, and
- how to safely and effectively intervene.
It teaches you the skills to know when and how to intervene in a situation of sexual violence or harassment.
You will learn about the 5'D's of Intervening which includes knowing how to non-confrontationally intervene when ‘banter’ goes that bit too far, to empowering you to step in if a friend is in trouble.
The Golden Rule of Bystander Intervention: Only intervene when it is safe for you to do so, and in an emergency call 999 or 112.
Participants who complete the online programme will receive an electronic Certificate of Completion and will also receive a Bystander Intervention Logo to include on their e-mail signature to show their support for the initiative
You have automatically been enrolled in SETU's Bystander Intervention Programme on Moodle/Blackboard so you can access it immediately. The programme takes approximately 1-2 hours to fully complete.
