Psychological Safety Toolkit
A foundation for building high impact legal teams.
Developed as part of our Well Within the Law: Culture First initiative, the Psychological Safety Toolkit is a practical guide to embedding psychological safety in legal teams. It offers you foundational knowledge, key principles, and actionable strategies to foster a culture of trust, reflection, and continuous learning.
This resource is designed for solicitors and legal professionals at all levels and can be used to:
-
gain a clear understanding of psychological safety and why it matters,
-
implement actionable steps to create a more open and supportive team environment; and
-
encourage reflection and continuous improvement in team dynamics.
