Everyone has the right to use public transport without fearing that they will be abused or experience a hate crime. This is why <\/span>Transport for London<\/b> has a zero tolerance approach to all forms of abuse on its network and keeping customers safe is its top priority.<\/span><\/p>\n

As part of its commitment, <\/span>TfL<\/b>, with the help of agency of record <\/span>VCCP London<\/b> and <\/span>Wavemaker UK<\/b> has launched the integrated \u2018<\/span>TfL Stands against Hate – Bystander Intervention\u2019<\/b>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bystanders can play an important role in preventing or discouraging incidents before they can and help victims feel less isolated.<\/span><\/p>\n

To ensure that this campaign is helpful to customers, <\/span>TfL<\/b>, <\/span>VCCP<\/b> and <\/span>Wavemaker UK<\/b> worked together closely with a team of experts to identify what actions people could take. They also worked with customer focus groups as the campaign developed to make sure it was informed by the people who will be using the transport network.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Through research, TfL identified a genuine knowledge gap around indirect interventions like engaging with the victim of abuse rather than confronting the perpetrator and how this was more likely to diffuse the situation. This follows behavioural research revealing that 63% of customers said they would feel more confident in <\/span>intervening in an incident<\/span> if they had more information on how to help.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>London-based Illustrator, Raj Dhunna, developed the campaign creative, taking into consideration the customer research. The campaign features distinctive illustrations that bring to life the different ways that travellers can safely intervene if they witness a hate crime or abuse. To achieve the executions Raj created visuals of a mouth, eyes and teardrops to visually convey the action people take. The three campaign executions are each based on specific behavioural asks, and within each the language has been crafted to be clear but also accessible to customers so that they feel empowered to safely intervene in an incident if they are a witness:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Distract<\/b> (mouth): <\/span>Ignore the offender and a<\/span>sk the targeted person simple, calm questions<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Document and report <\/b>(eyes): Note specific details of what you\u2019ve seen and report the incident<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Support<\/b> (teardrops): After the event, offer help to the targeted person<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol> \r\n \r\n \t\t\t <\/div>\r\n \r\n
    \r\n \t\t

    Alongside the iconic TfL branding, the creative also utilises the same colour palette and similar illustrative style to the existing \u2018Stands against Hate\u2019 campaign to ensure consistency and connection between the two.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Miranda Leedham, Head of Customer Marketing & Behaviour Change at TfL said<\/b>: <\/span>\u201cWe operate a zero tolerance approach to any abuse and hatred across the network and are working hard to tackle this behaviour. Through developing this campaign we understand that the information needs to be clear, simple and action-oriented. It is not enough to simply ask people to intervene. Specific and memorable behavioural prompts are the difference between knowing that you should intervene, and feeling that you can. That said, we do not expect customers to police the network but rather we want to give them enough information so they feel safe enough to support fellow customers if they witness a crime.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

    Caroline Rawlings, Group Creative Director at VCCP London added:<\/b> \u201cWe hear all too often about incidents that have happened on public transport and we want to help, but we just don\u2019t know how. Well, TfL identified this as an issue and I\u2019m so delighted that they continue to work hard to tackle it. Not just a campaign to say that they won’t stand for hate crime on their network, but a campaign that teaches us all simple and memorable actions that are proven to make a difference. A campaign that lets us all stand together against hate crime. Proud.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

    David Graham, Strategy Partner at Wavemaker UK added<\/b> “We are proud to be supporting TfL\u2019s latest campaign to further improve the safety of those travelling across the network. By ensuring the media channels resonate perfectly with the campaign\u2019s target audience, TfL\u2019s zero-tolerance approach to hate crime, and the information needed for people to intervene, will not only be communicated clearly, it will also be understood. As a result, the network and the method of transport chosen should feel like a safe <\/span><\/i>and welcoming place to all.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

    The campaign will run throughout 2023 across DOOH and OOH on the rail and bus network as well as digitally on Pink News and in the Evening Standard. The campaign has been planned and executed by media agency Wavemaker UK.<\/span><\/p> \t\t<\/div>\r\n \t\t\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section><\/div>\n\n
