Active bystanders show that certain types of behaviours are not widely accepted by others and break the silence that has previously allowed them to thrive. Active bystanding to address behaviour targeted at minority or marginalised groups such as BAME students is also very important in demonstrating support and inclusion.

The BMA Charter advocates an ABC approach:

 Assess for safety: if you see someone in trouble, ask yourself if you can help safely in any way.

 Be in a group: it is safer to call out behaviour or intervene in a group, and where this is not possible, report the behaviour to others who can act.

 Care for the person who may need help and ask them if they are okay.
