What makes our training COVID-compliant?
When it fits within government guidelines to run face-to-face workshops, we are implementing a series of measures to ensure that our training sessions are COVID-19 compliant.
These measures include:
- Making hand sanitising gel and masks available to all participants.
- Using large venues and restricting the numbers of attendees, to enable social distancing.
* Where lunch has been requested in advance.

What training do we offer?
We offer workshops on three key areas as follows:
Bystander Intervention Training
Did you know that you are less likely to help someone in need when there are other people around you? Called the bystander effect, it means that you are less likely to intervene when someone is experiencing hate.
Everyone deserves to feel safe and our bystander intervention training programme - Stand by Me - will empower you to take action if you witness a hate incident.
This workshop will cover:
- What counts as an act of hate.
- Why it's so important to report it.
- What stops you from intervening if you witness hate.
- Safe indirect interventions you can make to help others.
- Options for safe direct interventions you can make when appropriate.
Duration:
- 2 hours (flexible)
Optional extras:
- lunch (booked in advance)

Far-Right Awareness Training
The far-right has been using both people's fears around COVID-19 and the issues addressed in the Black Lives Matter protests, to further their own agenda. They might well have influenced you without you knowing it.
This training looks at the rise of the Far-Right and what you can do to tackle the issue.
The workshop will cover:
- Who represents the Far-Right.
- How they use people’s fears to spread their messages.
- What part the media and social media play in reinforcing these views.
- How they recruit and expand their networks.
- What you can do to change the narrative.
