Andy Hearn
MPhty, GradDipOSH, ICF Certified Coach, Wellbeing, Safety & Performance
My subject matter knowledge has been developed over the past nine years working (in People & Culture
teams) on the frontline of the health and education sectors…both of which are notorious for enabling bullying behaviours.. I have a particular interest in
Psychosocial Risk Management – and the associated importance of developing Leadership capability
(including through a Coaching process) and Psychological Safety at a team level. I consider the basic
building blocks of Psychological Safety (inclusion, learner safety, contributor safety, and challenger
safety) to be the antithesis of bullying. These four steps allow a strengths-based approach which focuses
on learning, innovation and creativity (and just happens to shine a spotlight on bullying behaviours!)
