Ethical practice underpins all safeguarding work. Petros guides organisations to navigate complex moral questions around confidentiality, consent, power and justice.
We explore how ethical dilemmas arise in safeguarding contexts, such as balancing individual rights with duty of care, managing competing interests, and respecting cultural differences.
Training and consultancy focus on reflective practice, ethical decision-making frameworks and maintaining integrity under pressure. We support staff to act consistently with organisational values and professional standards.
We are thrilled and delighted to be awarded ‘Best Mental Health Consultancy’ in This Can Happen Awards 2021 This Can Happen is an organisation that supports employers and employees across the world to create a positive environment for good mental health in the workplace.
The Head of Health and Safety at United Response approached the company’s insurer because of a seemingly intractable problem with workplace stress and high staff turnover.
We deliver training for the UK justice system, supporting staff and managers whose roles put them into challenging and often potentially traumatic situations every day.
A recent survey for Mind reported that just 11% of people would speak to their manager about their mental health (Pulse Survey April 2020). The GMC reports 85% and this is recognised as largely due to their long-term partnership with Petros.
