Who is this training for?
Box Office & Front of House team members in the arts and creative sectors in Ireland.

What is covered in this training?
Bystander training is an effective way to empower people to address and prevent harassment and discrimination in a workspace. It equips workers with the right knowledge, tools and motivation to intervene safely and stop inappropriate behaviour before it rises to the level of unlawful harassment.

These in-person workshops, designed for Box Office & Front of House team members in the arts and creative sectors in Ireland, are led by Professor Louise Crowley, Professor of Law at UCC and Director of the UCC Bystander Intervention Programme, and leading policy analyst and consultant Olwen Dawe, who has an established track record in developing and implementing equality, diversity and inclusion projects.

Participant feedback from past workshops:

‘It was thought-provoking and engaging. The use of scenarios was particularly effective.’‘Clear strategies to deal with bullying/toxic behaviour, a frank and forthright presentation, and very useful real-world examples to interrogate how I feel I would have responded in the past versus what I could do in the future.’

‘Great to do it in person. Very lively and informative’

‘It was excellent training. Clear and well delivered.’
