We want to promote an inclusive campus community. That’s why all our students are expected to take online training about dealing with harassment.

The Active Bystander course will teach you:

• how to recognise harassment and hate incidents,
• appropriate strategies for intervening, and
• how you can make a positive impact on your University community from the start.

Start the course

The course you need to complete is called Active Bystander. It is part of the Tackling Harassment programme on an e-learning website called Epigeum.

To access the course, you need to:

• register with Epigeum using your Hallam email address,
