Partner Ecosystem
A partner-enabled delivery model that combines consistent psychosocial risk intelligence with contextual, accredited professional expertise.
A partner-enabled model, by design
Psychosocial risk management requires both consistent measurement standards and contextual delivery capability. InCheq provides the standardised intelligence framework and assurance structure through the Safe Minds Index™ and Safe Minds, Better Work™. Delivery is enabled through accredited partners who bring contextual expertise, industry knowledge, and implementation capability—ensuring consistency in governance standards while enabling organisations to access support appropriate to their needs.

The role of accredited partners
Accredited partners bring contextual expertise, implementation capability, and delivery experience to support organisations as they progress through psychosocial safety maturity stages.
Partners provide:
- • Contextual advisory and facilitation aligned to Safe Minds, Better Work™
- • Implementation support for prioritised interventions
- • Capability uplift and stakeholder engagement
- • Change management and risk management support
Partners retain their professional expertise and industry specialisation while maintaining alignment to the Safe Minds Index™ framework and evidence standards.
How consistency and quality are maintained
The partner-enabled model maintains governance standards and assurance through structured alignment requirements:
- • Accreditation to framework standards: Partners demonstrate understanding of the Safe Minds Index™ framework, Safe Minds, Better Work™ pathway, and evidence requirements
- • Governance and documentation alignment: Delivery produces documentation that supports board reporting, regulatory engagement, and audit readiness
- • Consistency of approach: All partners use standardised maturity criteria, governance language, and compliance frameworks
This ensures organisations receive defensible evidence and governance reporting regardless of delivery partner.
