Active Bystander Taster Session

Join us for this fantastic taster session and learn more about this award winning programme.  In Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, the LLR Academy have created an award winning, pro-social cultural movement of change – The Active Bystander Programme.

It aims to educate, inform, and improve the moral courage of staff and is building a community of like-minded individuals who feel safe and confident to intervene, speak out and support recipients of inappropriate behaviours.

Active Bystanders don’t just stand by, they:

• Feel confident to identify harmful behaviours
• Feel confident to intervene to de-escalate situations
• Feel part of a community wanting to effect positive change
• Work together to role model civil and respectful behaviours
• Seek to understand first and act with positive regard for others

Active Bystanders make a difference by de-escalating situations and ‘calling people in’ to create a psychologically safe culture that is inclusive, and makes change happen conversation by conversation.

The full Active Bystanders programme runs over 1 and a half days and is complimented by virtual Action Learning Sets in the months that follow the face-to-face training.

We are offering VLN members a 1.5-hour, online taster session where you can discover more about the programme, learn more about building the skills that can support you as an active bystander and identify where you might go for further support in your area.   As places are limited book your place now.
