What is Bite-Size Learning?

If times are hard, the training budget is one of the first things to feel the squeeze. Yet research shows that those organisations who choose to continue with their learning and development plans out-perform those who do not. Cerulean’s bite-size learning sessions are 90-minute workshops that deliver focused, evidence-based training in a compact format.

Designed by Dr Lesley Aitcheson and Cerulean’s team of learning & development specialists, our bite-size learning has a proven record with many organisations including top universities, charities, trusts, corporations, and councils.

Bystander Intervention Training: Combating the Bystander Effect

The Bystander Effect describes the tendency of people to feel less responsible for taking action or helping when they are part of a group

There could be several reasons why people don’t get involved when they witness a threatening or uncomfortable situation –they don’t want to get involved or think others will intervene, fear reprisals or becoming a target

Failing to address Bystander Effect contributes to a toxic culture and gives tacit permission for bullying and harassment

Bystander Intervention Training can help to combat the Bystander Effect

We share 5 ways to take action and protect targets of bullying and harassment

We help people consider their options when they witness bullying, harassing or abusive behaviour and share tips and techniques for intervening promptly

By the end of the session, you will understand:
