Seek assistance from others to intervene or engage support from colleagues.

• Ask others to get involved to help take charge of the situation (e.g. a friend, colleague, porter, supervisor).

• Familiarise yourself with the full range of resources available to you in an emergency and during university hours.

For example:
• Ask a friend of the person being inappropriate to tell them to stop.
• Ask the porter or another colleague for support.
• Get one of your friends to help you create a distraction.

• Contact the person(s) after the event to challenge their behaviour or to check in to see how they are doing.

• Intervention does not have to be done in the moment and sometimes the most effective and least confrontational interventions can be done in a calm manner after the event.

• Contacting a person after the event can be a very effective way of challenging their language or behaviour without creating further discomfort for everyone involved, text them or call them afterwards.

• Create a distraction or redirect a person’s attention. Make up an excuse to help a friend get away from someone who might pose danger.

• Redirect the focus of those involved to let the situation cool down.

• Use humour or an excuse, if it’s appropriate, to divert the attention of the person(s) engaging in the problematic behaviour.

• Pretend you know the person being harassed and get them away from the situation to a safe place.

• Call it like you see it. Confront the harmful, threatening or inappropriate behaviour directly in a safe, respectful manner.

• Consider when it is more effective to address a situation by “calling out” problematic behaviour and when it might be safer to delegate to professional help such as An Gardai.
