Why Psychological Safety training matters in Wales

Fair work is central to Welsh Government policy, including through the Social Partnership and Public Procurement (Wales) Act 2023. Workplaces where people can raise concerns, admit mistakes and share ideas are fairer, safer and better at serving their communities, especially in health, social care and public services.

  • Supports fair work and speaking-up cultures
  • Improves safety and quality in services
  • Reduces conflict and staff turnover

Who it's for

Leaders, managers and whole teams. It's suitable for local authorities, NHS Wales organisations, schools, colleges, universities, housing associations, charities and private-sector employers.

How it's delivered
