Enhancing Psychosocial Safety in Health and Social Care: A Practical Guide to Creating Resilient Teams and Organisations

Enhancing Psychosocial Safety Cover

A step-by-step guide to designing cultures, systems and processes that create and sustain psychosocial safety and resilience for organisations, teams and individuals.

Enhancing Psychosocial Safety in Health and Social Care takes an ecological approach to psychosocial safety and resilience, helping health and social care organisations create the conditions for people to thrive while supporting healthier workplaces and high-quality, compassionate care.

At the heart of the book is an ecological framework for psychosocial safety and resilience, organised around five Strategic Pillars:

  • Secure Foundation
  • Recognition and Respect
  • Knowledge Sharing and Skill Building
  • Core Purpose and Vision
  • Positive Wellbeing Climate

Together, these pillars provide a practical framework for identifying what needs to change and making meaningful, sustainable improvements. Each pillar explores evidence-informed strategies and practical approaches, including compassionate leadership, trust and belonging, recognition, inclusion, learning, shared purpose and workplace wellbeing.

Throughout the book, you’ll find practical tools, real-world examples, tips and techniques, and reflective activities to help you consider what is working well, where change is needed and what could work in your own organisational context.

The final chapter brings these ideas together, helping readers turn insights into action and sustain improvements in psychosocial safety and resilience over time.

Teaching Outside the Box

Book cover: ‘Teaching Outside the Box,’ a practical toolkit for creative teachers by Gareth Davies.
Often, ideas suggested to English language teachers are time-consuming, preparation-heavy or require special resources or materials. Teaching Outside the Box encourages teachers to develop a low-preparation toolkit. These toolkits should have adaptable activities that are available to use time and time again, regardless of their teaching context.

All teachers have a toolkit; a collection of tools that help them get through their lessons. This includes physical and digital tools, but it also includes their mental toolkit. Furthermore, this mental toolkit contains ideas, experiences and knowledge that allow teachers to adapt and react in their classrooms, and enables them to think creatively outside the box.

This book is full of ideas to help English language teachers develop their own toolkit. Consequently, teachers can apply and adapt these ideas for different levels and ages of students, and across different teaching contexts. They are not necessarily whole lesson ideas, but small nuggets that you can drop to reinforce an idea or to change the energy levels of a class while staying close to the aims of the lesson and the context you have created.

This book aims to inspire teachers to make use of resources readily available to them, without requiring hours of preparation work. It encourages them to take a simple idea or resource and get the most out of it. Each activity includes a rationale and an explanation of the procedure, followed by suggested adaptations. These adaptations may include suggestions for different levels, a variety of ages, fast finishers and more.

It is easy to fall into the trap of thinking activities are only for certain ages, levels or classes. However, it often only needs a small tweak to make an activity appropriate for a different circumstance. This book encourages teachers to develop their own toolkit to help them say ‘What if I tried this differently?’

Safeguarding Boys and Young Men from Child Criminal Exploitation

Course logo

Boys and young men affected by child criminal exploitation are at greater risk of being under-recognised within safeguarding systems, often seen as offenders before they are seen as victims. This course translates the central arguments of Dr Nicholas Marsh’s book into a practical, research-grounded programme for practitioners working directly with this group.

Across four highly interactive sessions, participants will move from the conceptual foundations of why boys are less likely to be effectively engaged within safeguarding frameworks, through the practice landscape of CSE and CCE and the intersectional risks boys face, to hands-on tools for participation-led and contextual practice, and finally to embedding change at a practice and policy level. Each session combines short input, case-based discussion, and structured reflective exercises, so that participants leave with tools they can use immediately as well as a stronger conceptual grounding.

Full details of course content available here.


Each session is supported by short reading drawn from Dr Nicholas Marsh’s book Safeguarding Boys and Young Men from Child Criminal Exploitation, a one-page practice tool or worksheet, and a brief reflective exercise. Access to reading materials is included for all participants in this course.

Contextual Schema Therapy for Children and Adolescents: How to Work with Diagnosed Populations and their Differences

Book cover for Contextual Schema Therapy for Children and Adolescents, with the subtitle 'How to Work with Diagnosed Populations and Their Differences' and abstract mountain artwork.

Contextual Schema Therapy for Children and Adolescents describes how to adapt schema therapy approaches to help young people with eight common conditions who experience difficulties in areas such as coping, relating and self-image.

The authors explore the schemas and modes that play a specific role in anxiety, depression, OCD, eating disorders, conduct disorder, borderline personality disorder, ADHD and autism, and show how to engage and help young people by adapting schema therapy techniques into fun mode characterisations and playful treatment games.

The book tackles a wide range of unhelpful behaviour patterns by linking them to unmet needs and then addressing them with age-adapted interventions. Contextual Schema Therapy for Children and Adolescents combines CBT, systemic family work, developmental science and experiential techniques in a unique model for helping troubled young people. Examples illustrate each technique, and further resources are also provided.

Talking Therapies for Autistic People: A Neuroaffirmative and Person-Centred Approach

Book cover for 'Talking Therapies for Autistic People' by Heather Connolly-Smith, with abstract overlapping colorful profiles in the background.

Talking Therapies for Autistic People is a compassionate guide designed to transform how professionals understand and work with autistic clients. Written from the author’s dual perspective as an autistic person and a mental health practitioner, it presents a neuroaffirmative, person-centred and trauma-informed framework that exposes longstanding assumptions about autism and the harm they can produce. Rather than seeing autism as a deficit, Heather Connolly-Smith book positions autistic processing as a natural variation in human experience, emphasising that distress arises not from autism itself but from structural ableism – neuronormative expectations, inaccessible environments and repeated interpersonal misattunements.

Drawing on social models of disability and the neurodiversity paradigm, she uses three running case studies to explore simple ways in which therapists can support autistic clients to live more authentically and in ways which work with, rather than against, their neurotypes.

Lessons from an Executive Coach: Insights and Strategies for Learning and Practice

Lessons From an Executive Coach

Lessons from an Executive Coach is designed to help coaches, at any stage in their careers, to understand the realities of executive coaching. That is, to gain an insight into what it is like to sit down with a range of very different clients and work with each of them as their coaching journey unfolds and evolves.

Drawing on his own extensive experience, master coach Iain McCormick helps readers learn not by setting out the dry theories and processes of coaching, but by presenting a series of engaging, fictionalized case stories in a way that is designed to reveal the challenges, successes, failures and insights inherent in each. From Adam, a middle manager whose story reveals the enduring positivity at the heart of the coaching mindset, to Amanda, a young accountant whose story reveals how learning can still take place even if goals are not met.  Lessons from an Executive Coach offers a colourful and accessible account of coaching in action from both the client’s and the coach’s perspective.
