Active Bystander Training - Open to staff and UG/PG students – Coming again soon

Dr Sean Roe of the School of Medicine, Queen’s University Belfast, will return to deliver another Active Bystander Training (ABT) in late 2026. With a background in medical education, he specialises in applying ABT within health-science and healthcare settings. 

The training uses authentic scenarios developed by staff and students at Queen’s University Belfast (QUB) to model situations in which problematic behaviours—sexism, racism, homophobia, and transphobia—require challenge. ABT equips participants with strategies for safe intervention and promotes a culture where such behaviours are less normalised. This aligns with actions identified across Athena Swan applications in the Faculty, including the School of Medicine, where improved responses to inappropriate behaviour have been highlighted as priorities. Implementing ABT is therefore a key step toward strengthening a respectful, inclusive culture. 

This is a free event, but registration and in person attendance is required.
