Facilitator - Hannah Wilson

We support teachers, leaders and support staff in developing their consciousness of psychological safety to become more confident and competent in intentionally creating spaces for everybody to flourish and thrive.

A psychologically safe environment is one which allows people to take interpersonal risks without fear of negative consequences, such as social exclusion or judgement. For example, if a child feels psychologically safe in class with their peers and teachers, then they are more likely to ask for help, to share their ideas, ask questions, or admit they don’t understand something. They are more likely to try, knowing it’s okay to fail. They will still be accepted, even if they make mistakes. This has obvious benefits for individual learning, and the rest of the class who have the potential to learn from others’ questions and ideas.

We will explore how we can ascertain existing levels of psychological safety and how we can embed it into our classroom and workplace culture.
