Bystander Intervention Campaign #StepInNotAside

#StepInNotAside is London Borough of Harrow’s new bystander intervention campaign, which we have just launched. This is empowering people to take safe, supportive action if they witness public harassment or feel something isn’t right.

This campaign is about keeping everyone safe in our streets, workplaces, schools, and community spaces. It recognises that help doesn’t mean confrontation. Sometimes it means a distraction, asking for support, checking in later, or simply being present.

Step In, Not Aside puts safety first, giving people practical options to respond in ways that reduce harm and avoid escalation.

Every action, no matter how small, helps create a borough where women and girls continue to feel safe and supported.
