About this Event
Active Bystander Training Session
Description: West Yorkshire Police within the Bradford District are offering free Active Bystander sessions. This opportunity supports the recently launched #JogOn Campaign which supports (VAWG) Violence Against Women and Girls.
Join us for an interactive training session on how to be an effective bystander in various situations. Learn practical skills to intervene, support and respond to potentially harmful situations.
By attending the training you will gain the practical tools, skills, confidence, knowledge and techniques to intervene confidently and safely in a range of situations, whether with a stranger or with a friend/family member.
This in-person event will be held at Javelin House Police Station, Javelin Close, Bradford, BD10 8SD and is open to anyone interested in attending.
We will collect you from the main entrance 10 minutes prior to the session starting. There is parking on site, at the church opposite or Morrisons over the road.
Don't miss this opportunity to make a positive impact in your community!
Each session takes around 2 hours in total, are interactive and will enable attendees to take an active part in gaining some further knowledge around being an ‘Active Bystander’. The topics covered include:
- The role of bystander in the prevention of abuse.
- Identify a range of tools that can be used to safely support/challenge others.
- Ways to support individuals who may disclose abuse.
We are all bystanders, who witness events unfolding around us. Sometimes we recognise events as being problematic. When this happens, we decide to do or say something and become an active bystander (either in the moment or at a later stage) or to simply let it go and remain a passive bystander. Social norms can be shifted to challenge undesirable behaviour by empowering people to become active rather than passive bystanders.
