The Circle of Safety is a tool for all clinical faculty, regardless of profession and regardless of locale. Applying principles of teaching‐learning, the Circle of Safety was originally developed by the author for use by clinical preceptors in nurse‐midwifery education. Its purpose is to provide a structure that removes a major obstacle to learning and facilitates student efforts to learn in accord with an individual's pattern of learning.
