Speak up and offer support for the victim
If you step in to support the victim, other people are more likely to step in too. You can directly support the victim if it’s safe to do so, or try to distract the bully or harasser. Make sure the person who is experiencing the bullying is OK by asking them how they’re doing and reminding them that it’s not their fault.
Encourage the victim to report the harassment or bullying
Let the victim know that they can confidentially report harassment or bullying to the Office of Student Conduct, Accountability and Support if they are a student (or to their supervisor if they are an employee).
Report what you observe
As a witness you can also report harassment or bullying to the Office of Student Conduct, Accountability and Support if you are a student (or to your supervisor if you are an employee).
Work with your student union and college administration to bring awareness to your campus
Contact your Langara Student’s Union (LSU) representatives to see what initiatives you can be a part of to increase awareness of the impacts of bullying and harassment on your campus. The LSU is located in the L Building, and can be reached at 604.324.3881.
