CHAMP Programs: Psychosocial Risk Management legislation – how do you meet your obligations?


Schools are finding that CHAMP Programs’ Employee Wellness, Support and Development Program is helping them meet their obligations under the new Psychosocial Risk Management legislation. 






















  • The legislation requires employers to Identify, Assess, and Control the risks and then Review the measures taken. 


    • Our Employee Wellness, Support and Development Survey is able to give Leadership the tools to gather deep data that assists in the identification and assessment of the risks listed below.

    • Recommendations within the Report to Leadership help implement effective measures to control those risks. Some of those measures come from the external providers that we work with, others can be provided by changes within the school environment.


  • Most guidelines suggest that it’s important to have commitment from leadership and it’s also important to provide consultation with staff, giving them opportunities to express their views. 


    • Leadership, by the fact that it’s implementing the CHAMP Programs Survey, is showing a commitment to identify and assess these risks.

    • All staff, via the Survey and our Moving Forward Together Workshop, are given an opportunity to provide feedback to Leadership, with nearly all questions having comments boxes for further clarification of their views. 


  • Examples of Psychosocial Risks are usually listed as:

  • Work overload

  • Role ambiguity

  • Lack of control (autonomy)

  • Poorly managed change

  • Low levels of support

  • Poor reward and recognition

  • Lack of organisational justice

  • Occupational violence

  • Incivility

  • Bullying

  • Sexual harassment


The CHAMP Programs Survey is a comprehensive Survey, covering the many different facets of Staff Wellbeing. Amongst these are questions regarding stress and workload, role clarity, change culture, feedback and recognition, and bullying and harassment. We are confident it covers the majority of the above Psychosocial Risks.

By using CHAMP Programs you can meet most aspects of this legislation as well as ensure that you are caring for your staff.
