Help create a safe and supportive community for all 

Dear Postgraduate Students,
 
We hold high importance in your wellbeing and believe the below training course we are offering is a step towards ensuring we work collectively and bring change and create a safe and supportive community for all. 
 
We strongly encourage you to attend this training session as part of your studies. The session will be for one hour on Wednesday 27th November (2 session slots available), please choose one session using Eventbrite.
 
Active Bystander 

The Active Bystander training programme aims to empower staff and students across the College community to challenge poor behaviours and bring about cultural change through the reinforcement of messages defining the boundaries of unacceptable behaviour.

Many individuals with problematic attitudes are likely to think their behaviour is normal if no one confronts it, and this can often be reinforced by cultural messages. Some might not care their behaviour causes harm to others, but some might not even realise.

If we constantly reinforce messages about behaviour that is unacceptable, this puts considerable pressure on people to re-think their behaviour. So any level of inappropriate or unacceptable behaviour should not be ignored.
 
Each session covers techniques to keep a clear head in challenging situations - and assertive language skills to speak up with confidence and impact.
 
I’d like to reiterate the importance of attending this training session, we offer it to all our Academic/Non-Academic staff and strongly urge you to attend.

Best wishes,

Professor Nilay Shah
Head of Chemical Engineering
