• What is the ‘bystander effect’ and why we may hesitate in intervening when we see a person who may need help, or who is experiencing violence or problematic behaviour
• the four different categories of ways we can intervene in a situation when someone may need help
• assessing risk and context in a situation to understand the safest and most effective way to intervene
• the importance of ‘being someone who does something’ and the consequences when we don’t intervene.
