Active Bystander Evaluation Report 2022-2023
This was our first evaluative report in the programme’s history, offering a complete overview and in-depth evaluation of Students’ Union UCL’s Active Bystander Programme in the academic year 2022-23.
Between September and December 2022, 4,004 students completed the online module and 3,535 students attended a live workshop. After completing each part of the training, students were invited to complete a feedback form, which has been central to monitoring the programme’s impact.
The feedback that we gathered includes both quantitative and qualitative data and has been extremely valuable in increasing our understanding of student experiences of the Active Bystander Programme. Student feedback has been incredibly encouraging, while offering insights into possible improvements to the programme.
Our analysis of this feedback has found that:
- 78% of respondents agreed that the online module was useful.
- 96% of respondents agreed that they understood what constitutes as bullying, harassment, and discrimination after completing the online module.
- 86% of respondents agreed that they feel more prepared to intervene in a situation of unacceptable behaviour after attending a live workshop.
- Students appreciated clear explanations of what constitutes unacceptable behaviour, interactive elements in the online module, scenario discussions in the live workshops and the use of the 4 Ds strategy of bystander intervention.
