Important words from Timpson. Focus requires to be on those around victims and those who commit harm. When a culture instils a responsibility to act science says they will act early when harm is seen. Peer intervention is a tool to be considered

This weeks #SundayThread Every contact leaves a trace. Those in policing will recognise this saying. This principle is foundational in forensic science, as it implies that evidence is left behind in every interaction.

I heard this piece earlier on the @mrjamesob.bsky.social show. It was emotional, raw, to the point and the sort of leadership that’s needed at this time. It made me stop the car and listen to every word.

What if? In #Adolescence What if Jamie’s friend Ryan had the tools and confidence to stop his friend. In this blog i look at the drama through the eyes of the bystander. grahamgoulden.com/2025/04/09/f...

For me the learning from #Adolescence is for adults not the kids in school. Some suggestions 1. Parents remember the internet is a place not a thing. 2. Coaches/teachers role model respect/kindness 3. All, be curious & ask questions 4. All, Address misogyny quickly 5. Correct misperceptions

This weeks #SundayThread Snitches get stitches. I’m surprised I haven’t talked about this before. In a lot of my work I often ask groups to share the perceptions of people in orgs who report poor behaviour. I’m often met with terms such as snitch, grass, troublemaker.

To think differently, learn to see differently. Seeing differently is a way of countering built-in tendency to sink in to the familiar way of seeing and experiencing. It may be hard but move through discomfort. Once there help others to do the same. Never force them.

I wrote this to highlight a need for us to move beyond a good v evil discussion when talking about male violence grahamgoulden.com/2025/03/24/t...

This weeks #SundayThread A need for role models. I read this week about the speech given by @GarethSouthgate at the recent #RichardDimbleby lecture. He talked about a need for role models for men beyond online male influencers.

Radical action or evidence based responses. We know what works but we seldom follow what works Adolescence writer calls for 'radical action' not role models www.bbc.com/news/article...
