• 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.
