Professor Louise Crowley:

From our perspective, it is that everybody has a responsibility to change culture. When something devastating happens in society and the entire country is paralysed by it, and when people think it is terrible but at least it is not them, it is actually all of us who can effect change. If any of us sees something that is not acceptable and we let it slide and do not call it out, we promote what we permit. It is incumbent on all of us, therefore, to call it out and take that stand. Whatever the unacceptable behaviour might be, if we do not accept it, those who are behaving that way will suddenly realise they are othered and that people do not want that type of behaviour. That is a very strong societal way of effecting change but it is an all-of-society response, which is critical. It cannot be left to lone objectors; it has to be a collective response. That is why the in-class learning is so powerful, because it is not just one individual being talked to but a group being given an opportunity to hear and discuss collectively and respond. That then spreads to the wider environment such as schools and sporting clubs, where we also deliver training, and into society and homes. It has the capacity to effect an all-of-society change.
