The priority first and foremost is safety.<\/p>\n
If you don\u2019t feel safe to intervene or someone is in immediate danger, call the Police (999) or Campus Support and Security (0161 3060 9966). Download the Manchester SafeZone App to contact Campus Support and Security immediately. You can also use Report and Support to report microaggressions, discrimination, bullying and harassment and hate crime. You can contact the EDI Team with any queries about the available support.<\/p>\n
Direct Action:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n If after assessing the situation you feel it is safe to intervene and unlikely to escalate matter, then intervene.<\/p>\n Check in with the target of the action\/behaviour and ask if they\u2019re OK? Do they want to discuss what happened? What do they want to do about the situation? Then talk to the person perpetrating. Ask them clearly and respectfully to clarify their words or actions. Let them know why you find their behaviour problematic. \u00a0<\/p>\n Don\u2019t try to speak on behalf of an individual or group.<\/p>\n Document:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n If you see problematic behaviour such as harassment, bullying or hate crime, document the incident:<\/p>\n Disrupt<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Shift focus away from the person\/people that the behaviour is directed towards by changing the topic of conversation: Start a conversation with the person\/people that the behaviour is being directed towards. Ask the person that the behaviour is directed towards to help you with something, this could be asking for help with a task.<\/p>\n Delay<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Delay responding until you have more information.<\/p>\n The more empowered we feel to challenge problematic behaviour, the more we can work to ensuring our campus is a safe and inclusive place to work and study.<\/p>\n If you would like to know more about booking Active Bystander training for members of your team or if you want more information on the available support, please contact the EDI Team:
