BASIC ONE PAGER

Think: How might we call out the behaviour, while calling in the person?

Remember, its is a powerful thing for the target of oppression to hear these words from the mouth of an ally!

Inclusion inside or outside of work is underpinned by respect. If there is no respect, then actions need to be taken. Not all things said and done by people are intentional and that’s important to remember when it comes to challenging behaviour.

What does it mean to "call someone in" or "call someone out?"

Calling out vs Calling in

• When there is an opportunity to explore deeper, make meaning together, and find a mutual sense of understanding across difference
• When we are seeking to understand or learn more
• When we want to help imagine different perspectives, possibilities, or outcomes

• Focused on reflection, not reaction

• When we need to let someone know that their words or actions are unacceptable and will not be tolerated

• When we need to interrupt in order to prevent further harm
• Will likely feel hard and uncomfortable, but necessary
• Allows us to hit the “pause” button and break the momentum
