Bystander - Peer Advocacy

Course Overview

Bystander Empowerment is a programme that aims to use social norms theory to educated delegates and encourage them to become an active bystander.

This session will look at the theories around why people fail to act or respond to problematic behaviour whilst considering the legalities, moral implication and harm to the victim, families and wider communities. The aim at the end of the session is to empower young people to safely intervene when they witness problematic behaviour in their peer group.
