Description

You are invited to attend a short Active Bystander training session - which aims to help the RYA community to challenge microaggressions, harmful comments and behaviours. The session includes self-coaching techniques to help you keep a cool head when you’re faced with a challenging situation - and assertive language devices which you can use to make sure your voice is heard if you want to raise a concern. We hope that by working together we can create a safe and supportive working environment within our community. For more information on the training please see the link. www.activebystander.co.uk

Please note: All inclusion webinars and workshops hosted by the RYA are a safe space to explore, learn and grow. There will be zero tolerance to any discriminatory and inappropriate behaviour, a decision to remove a participant on this basis will be made by a senior member of staff.
