Safeguarding Employees After Incidents - SEAI

Duration: 2 days or half day awareness workshop

Delivery Method: face to face and virtual

Course Capacity: 8

Supporting Mental Health, Staff Wellbeing, and Evidence Integrity Following Traumatic Events at Work

When a serious workplace incident occurs—whether it’s a traumatic event, professional allegation, or internal investigation—the emotional and psychological toll on employees can be profound. Consider David, a healthcare worker falsely accused of misconduct. Although later cleared of any wrongdoing, the investigation left him isolated, anxious, and emotionally broken. Despite being innocent, the lack of structured support and guidance led to lasting damage to his wellbeing—and ultimately, his resignation.

David’s experience is not unique. In professions like healthcare, education, law enforcement, security, and corporate environments, employees may be exposed to trauma, false allegations, or high-stakes professional scrutiny. Without the proper processes and training in place, both mental health and organisational integrity can suffer.

Why This Course Matters

The Safeguarding Employees After Incidents (SEAI) course equips organisations to better respond to trauma at work, providing clear strategies for protecting employee mental health and wellbeing following a traumatic incident in the workplace.

It focuses on how to identify key events, support staff welfare, and implement ethical and effective practices for gathering employee evidence. This is particularly important in cases involving professional allegations, internal inquiries, or emotionally charged events.

By understanding the vulnerabilities around memory, perception, and stress, organisations can ensure a more transparent, psychologically informed, and legally defensible process that supports everyone involved.
