Charity for Civil Servants named as sponsor for Pearn Kandola’s Psychological Safety Week

Charity for Civil Servants has joined as a sponsor for Psychological Safety Week, an initiative from business psychologists Pearn Kandola. 

The event runs from 22nd to 26th September 2025 and is also supported by the Financial Times. 

Psychological Safety Week aims to help workplaces be safe, inclusive and open, so employees feel able to speak up, work together and do well.

Professor Binna Kandola OBE, co-founder and senior partner at Pearn Kandola, said: “Charity for Civil Servants’ mission to help current, former and retired civil servants overcome life’s challenges and thrive aligns with our own mission of making the world fairer. 

“We are delighted to have their support as sponsors for Psychological Safety Week, and we are proud to continue this partnership by facilitating a session for their Mental Health and Wellbeing Conference in October this year.”

The Charity for Civil Servants has said it will support this campaign and civil servants more widely. 

Its aim is that no civil servant faces challenges alone and it wants the civil service to be known for trust, kindness and resilience.

Jonathan Freeman, CEO at the Charity for Civil Servants, said: “We are thrilled to be supporting Psychological Safety Week, a vital new initiative to build more resilient and effective workplaces. 

“Pearn Kandola has an unrivalled track record in promoting inclusive and powerful leaders and organisations and I’m delighted we can support this important new initiative of theirs.”

Flavia Gapper, director of help, advice and services at the Charity for Civil Servants, said: “We support people through life’s challenges, and success depends on challenging ourselves and each other to remain relevant and reach a wide audience. 

“We are very proud to work with Pearn Kandola. Psychological Safety Week is a great example of how they approach organisational improvement through practical tools. 

“Psychological Safety Week sessions help us to define and shape the environment of trust and respect which enable innovation, genuine learning and success.”
