Psychological Safety in Schools — Building Trust, Openness and Supportive Learning Environments

Practical strategies that help teaching teams create classrooms and staff cultures where people feel safe to speak, learn and collaborate.

Psychological Safety in Schools equips staff with a shared understanding of what psychological safety means, why it matters and how everyday behaviours shape the learning and working climate across a school.

Introduction

When students and staff feel safe to ask questions, share concerns and learn from mistakes, school environments become more supportive, collaborative and resilient. Without psychological safety, communication becomes hesitant, innovation slows and misunderstandings increase.
