Program
Psychosocial Safety Program for Independent Schools
Build a compliant and sustainable approach to psychosocial risk management within 9 months.
The Psychosocial Safety Program for Independent Schools is an all-new program from FlourishDx tailored specifically for the needs of independent schools in Australia.
The education sector is one of the worst performing for mental injury workers compensation claims. School Board directors and school leaders are all accountable for ensuring the working environment is psychologically healthy under WHS legislation. Wellbeing and EAP programs will not meet this responsibility.
The 9-month program will provide participating schools with all the tools and know-how they need to implement a comprehensive program of works that meets the needs of their Board, WHS regulators, and school community members.
Working in a cohort of up to 20 schools, participants will benefit from formal instruction, policy templates and tools, and supervised psychosocial risk management activities facilitated through monthly community of practice sessions.
