About the webinar

Psychological safety is not an optional extra; it is central to safeguarding, learning and wellbeing. In this webinar, Victoria Bagnall explores how stress shapes the developing brain, helping educators recognise stress responses, interpret behaviour as communication, and strengthen both emotional and physical safety in diverse school environments.
Join Victoria Bagnall and Stephanie Hobler as they discuss why psychological safety is a core safeguarding responsibility and what every teacher needs to understand about stress, safety and the developing brain in international and bilingual schools.
  • Understand how stress affects the developing brain and learning
  • Recognise fight, flight and freeze responses in the classroom
  • Interpret behaviour as communication rather than defiance
  • Strengthen emotional and physical safety through everyday practice
  • Connect psychological safety to your wider safeguarding responsibilities
