Bystander Intervention

Welcome to your module pack for “Bystander Intervention”, which will help you to make choices that could help support the victim of harassment, hate crime and bullying, to name but a few situations.  We are all bystanders in our everyday lives, and we intervene without realising that we have.  It could be as simple as telling someone to take a taxi home rather than driving, after a night out, to asking a person is okay after someone had shouted at them in the street. This module highlights what safe actions you can take when faced with a situation.  The 5D’s are well known and proven steps to take in these circumstances.
