The Bystander Intervention Team is there to support the Roehampton community by supporting students that may have been affected by sexual harassment/assault. The Bystanders also provide wellbeing and welfare support to event attendees by working closely with our security and medical team. The Bystanders work alongside the Roehampton Students’ Union events team to provide a safe environment for all.
We recently spoke to current members of the team, Alisha and Rebecca, about what the scheme is, how it works and the tools that they have available to current students, as part of our Spotlight series.
