By Stander Training

This programme was developed by UCC and provided to NCI. You can take this training over more than one sitting.

Programme Overview

The overarching message of the UCC Bystander Intervention programme is clear – all of society must recognise their responsibility to highlight unacceptable behaviour, to challenge unwanted behaviour, as well as verbal and physical advances, to effect pro-social behaviour and cultural change. 

The programme educates and empowers participants to recognise acts of sexual harassment and violence and to cultivate their capacity to demand a zero-tolerance approach to all such behaviour, enabled by their upskilling in making safe and effective interventions. 

Stepping in to identify and stop sexual harassment and violence rightly places the spotlight on the perpetrator and their behaviour whilst providing support for the vulnerable party. Each intervention can be both informative and transformative for the parties involved. Through targeted training, these interventions can be normalised, and ultimately identify a new level of expectation, and a new normal for all in society, but especially for those affected by acts of sexual harassment and violence.
