Live Webinar: Psychosocial Hazards in Charities and NFPs: The Risks You Can’t Ignore

Charities and NFPs face unique psychological safety challenges that distinguish them from traditional workplaces, with staff and volunteers often working in emotionally demanding roles supporting vulnerable communities whilst operating under resource constraints and mission-driven pressures. In this session, we will examine how organisations can identify, assess and control psychosocial risks for both employees and volunteers, including:

• Understanding psychosocial hazards specific to charitable and not-for-profit environments including vicarious trauma and compassion fatigue
• The importance of implementing systematic risk identification and assessment to capture the full range of psychosocial risks
• Developing effective control measures and intervention strategies tailored to the charities and NFPs context
• Creating policies and reporting frameworks that establish clear channels for employees and volunteers to report psychosocial hazards without fear of reprisal
• Building comprehensive training programs on workplace psychosocial hazards
• Establishing monitoring and continuous improvement systems that allow for responsive adjustment of psychological safety measures
