Integrating psychosocial safety into learning design
Tuesday 1 September 2026 | 10am AEST | Presented by Vanessa Solomon
Learners need to feel safe before they'll participate fully in a learning environment
Psychosocial safety is now a regulatory and ethical imperative in education.
This session bridges policy and andragogy showing how psychosocial risk management aligns with adult learning design.
Participants will learn how to embed respect, inclusion, and trust into training environments, design psychologically safe assessment processes, and use reflective feedback to strengthen belonging.
This session doesn’t just cover wellbeing in the 2025 Standards for RTOs, it bridges the gap between compliance and being ethical, moral and human.
Leave this session with a self-evaluation sheet to assess and reflect your own RTO’s practices.
Learning outcomes:
- Define psychosocial safety in the context of adult education
- Apply design strategies that foster respectful, supportive learning environments
- Evaluate and improve classroom practices for psychological safety
