CC1.2 – Psychological safety and containment
In focusing on psychological safety in health care teams, Edmondson, Higgins, Singer, and Weiner (2016) defined psychological safety as a belief in a context being safe for interpersonal risk taking. Containment is a way of providing contexts that are psychologically safe.
The value of psychological containment is brilliantly described by Amy Edmundson. To learn more about why psychologically safe spaces are essential in promoting high performing teams, watch the Ted Talk below.
Psychological safety is a belief that one will not be punished or humiliated for speaking up with ideas, questions, concerns or mistakes
Amy Edmondson

i found it was very interested how to see person to stand up a d to express their concern without what band or manager to work as team. also this will help with my project
it was very informatve and eye opening and moving forward i think with good leadership skills i feel confident that i would speak up as the key is safe practice.
I have found this a little difficult, but now I understand, it is interesting finding out about the various ways in which both myself and co consulting works hand in hand. This will allow me to move forward more easily in my role as IPC champion
