Do you need support after a formal speaking up process?

July 20, 2022

If you need support after a formal speaking up process, the new NHS speaking up support scheme could help you. This free online structured programme is designed to help you move forward in your professional and personal life. Over 10 months you can access:

• An initial health and wellbeing session
• One to one psychological wellbeing support
• Career coaching
• Personal development workshops

The scheme is run by NHS England for any of our NHS people who have experienced challenges in moving forward professionally or personally after raising concerns through a formal speaking up process.

Places on this scheme are limited and anyone who is unable to get on the scheme this time will be offered an opportunity to reapply for the next cohort or signposted to well-being hubs and services.

Who can apply?

Open to current and past Trust colleagues ( of three years and less) who can:

• Evidence they have gone through formal processes of speaking up to raise concerns which potentially impacted on safety, posed a risk or presented as malpractice or wrongdoing
• Can demonstrate that this has had an adverse impact on their personal and professional life

Note: Applications are open until Friday 19 August
