The University of Bath, in partnership with the SU, are launching a 90 minute training programme to tackle sexual harassment and misconduct on and off campus. We have seen through\u00a0the #NeverOK campaign<\/a>, and the Universities UK taskforce report<\/a> how prevalent sexual harassment is on University campuses. The\u00a0#MeToo and #Time\u2019sUp movements have shown us that this is not an issue occurring solely at Universities - it is pervasive in society.<\/p>\n

We have all been in situations where we\u00a0have witnessed something that made us feel uncomfortable....but we weren't quite sure what to do about it, or we thought about a great come-back on the way home!\u00a0The Bringing In The Bystander programme<\/a>\u00ae gives people to tools to become effective and safe bystanders, whether that is in the moment, or having a quiet word at a more opportune time.<\/p>\n

The programme was developed by the University of\u00a0New Hampshire and has been delivered at Universities across the world, with significant research<\/a> demonstrating its effectiveness at encouraging attitude change and increasing bystander behaviours.<\/p>\n
