This course examines the concept of psychological safety, why it matters and how you can look to create and embed this into your supervisory practice in order to optimise the learning and performance of your supervisees.
This course is made up of a series of videos, each focusing on a different aspect of psychological safety in supervision. The videos are accompanied by activities to embed your learning, and you can progress through the course at your own pace.
