Freedom to Speak Up Policy v11
Overview
We want to hear about any concerns you have whichever part of the Trust you work in. Speaking up is integral to the safety of patients and colleagues and we continually look to remove any barriers that can prevent you from feeling safe to speak up. We want you to be reassured that regardless of your role background experience or any protected characteristics your voice will be listened to and is welcomed.
The objectives of the Freedom to Speak Up Policy are to:
- Ensure we all follow national standards.
- Ensure staff know how to speak up and what the next steps will be.
- Ensure all matters raised are captured and considered appropriately.
- Ensure staff know where else they can seek advice and support.
- Ensure lessons are learned across the organisation.
