Hate Crime Awareness Week Special. Learn how to step in and help when you see something wrong going down - be a hero, not a bystander!

Ever seen something wrong but didn’t know how to step in safely? Wondered what to say when someone makes a harmful comment—or how to help without making things worse?

Stand By Me is a practical, engaging training session that helps you recognise and safely challenge hate, harassment and discrimination in everyday situations. Whether it’s online, on public transport, in the workplace or on the street—bystanders can make a difference.

This free training will give you:

Real-life scenarios and tools for responding with confidence

Simple, effective ways to challenge harmful behaviour

Insight into the impact of hate and microaggressions

A space to reflect, ask questions and build your awareness

Who’s it for?

Stand By Me is designed for anyone seeking to become a better ally, addressing the barriers that prevent people from intervening when witnessing harmful behaviors and attitudes.
