Compassionate Safety: What Does This Approach Involve?

Join Paul Davison for an interactive online workshop to consider the eight domains of Compassionate Safety. We will explore how these two words go together and how they relate to stress management and creating well beings. A holistic approach to safety requires individuals and organisations to go beyond physical safety, to accommodate psychological, emotional and spiritual safety needs. For this to take place within an environment where people can thrive and flourish, that environment needs to be a compassionate one. There needs to be a cultural wrap which is simultaneously kind, caring, useful and helpful. The online workshop will link this approach to human factors, non-technical skills and cultural evolution. Additionally, through our association with ISMA^UK, we will highlight our ambition to bring into UK legislation the control and management of psychosocial factors harmful to health.
