Compassionate Safety:
What Does This Approach Involve?

with

Paul Davison, CEO and Founder, PPWD

and

Mark Lovatt, Associate,  PPWD

moderated by

Charlotte Turnbull, Head of Employment, W Legal

Join Paul Davison and Mark Lovatt for an interactive online workshop to consider the eight domains of Compassionate Safety. Moderated by Charlotte Turnbull, they 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.

This workshop will link this approach to human factors, non-technical skills and cultural evolution. It will ask questions, involving the audience in polls, a quiz, and breakout rooms, focused on issues such as -

  • What does a holistic approach to Compassionate Safety comprise? Is it a new concept?
  • How can we tell if our environment is compassionate?
  • In what ways does Compassionate Safety link to non-technical skills and cultural evolution?

Additionally, through our association with ISMAUK, we will highlight our ambition to bring into UK legislation the control and management of psychosocial factors harmful to health.
