#NeverOkay

About the Campaign

In October 2021, we launched #NEVEROK to promote the message that everyone has the right to study, live, work and enjoy life in a safe and supportive environment. Harassment, assault and abuse are never OK.

Be an Active Bystander

A: Assess for Safety

Check you can help safely. Your safety comes first.

B: Be in a Group

It’s safer to intervene as a group or report to someone who can act.

Ask the person if they are OK and offer support.
