Freedom To Speak Up
What is ‘Speaking Up’?
Speaking up is about anything that gets in the way of providing good care.
When things go wrong, it is important to learn lessons and make improvements. It is also important to speak up about, and listen to, concerns to prevent potential harm.
Our Freedom To Speak Up Guardian supports our staff to speak up about any concerns they may have at work.
Staff can speak to the Guardian, in confidence, about anything that gets in the way of safe and high-quality care. They can also speak up about anything that affects their experience in the workplace.
The Guardian also supports our managers to listen to concerns and find solutions so we can provide safer, kinder and better care.
