• A well-intentioned response may be to excuse the incident by

emphasising the lack of explicit intent.

• This underplays the feelings of the individual or group on the

receiving end and perpetrators must be made aware of the hurt

that they have caused and should not be allowed to be

empowered at someone else’s expense.

• Similarly, those witnessing the abuse (often referred to as

bystanders) or knowing that it is happening, must not believe

that the behaviour is acceptable, or that the organisation

condones it.
