Session Title: It’s Not “Just Part of the Job”

Managing Psychosocial Risk in Today’s Libraries

Public libraries are increasingly operating at the intersection of community service, social care and frontline public safety. Staff are exposed to more frequent micro‑aggressions, emotionally charged encounters and repeated distress often without formal systems designed to manage this level of psychosocial demand.

Dr Tessa Bailey brings deep, practical expertise in psychosocial risk management across public‑facing services. Drawing on best‑practice frameworks, regulatory expectations and extensive applied experience, this session focuses on what genuinely reduces harm in real library environments, not just what looks good on paper. Participants will gain shared language, deeper insight into why these risks are increasing, and practical strategies they can apply immediately within the constraint’s libraries operate under.
