Event Overview

Following on from discussions at the recent ‘Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) Listening Event’, we are hosting an Active Bystander training session on challenging inappropriate workplace behaviours.

Witnessing verbal and physical abuse, discrimination, racism and micro-aggression effects everyone. This event has been developed to support ALL members of of the Primary Care Team and we welcome anyone who works in a primary care setting to this event.

This session will include:

  • Decision-making techniques to help people overcome fear and self doubt when faced with a challenging situation
  • Assertiveness techniques to give them the confidence and tools to speak out, whether they are dealing with the challenge directly or calling for help from others.
  • Each delegate also receives an ‘Active Bystander’ toolkit booklet, which contains the main techniques covered in the session.
