This is a Well-being Week 2025 event.
How would a critical incident affect your team’s well-being? Would you know how to support them to recover?
In July 2021, Bridgend County Borough Council experienced a high-profile child death which led to significant scrutiny from the media and regulatory partners.
Evidence shows that local authorities which go through tragedies like this one can expect to see an unprecedented level of demand for at least two years afterwards.
What we’ll cover
In this session, we’ll hear:
- how the timing of the incident affected the team’s resilience and stability
- why and how the team focused on well-being, recruitment and retention to help their workforce to respond to the incident and deal with the aftermath
- what the team learned from the experience
- what impact and learning came from this way of working.
Who is the event for?
This session is for anyone who’s interested to learn how a workforce has been supported after a critical incident and other significant challenges.
