October is Speak Up Month

October 26, 2023

As you may be aware October is Speak Up Month. Freedom to Speak Up is for everyone who works here.

Speaking up enhances all our working lives and improves the quality and safety of care. Listening and acting upon matters raised means that Freedom to Speak Up will help us be a great place to work.

Speak Up Month in October is an opportunity to raise awareness of how much we value speaking up in our organisation. We see speaking up as fundamental to how we work, and we want to be part of making speaking up business as usual across SWB.

Be sure to check out this short video featuring Jamie Emery, patient insight and involvement lead talking about being a freedom to speak up guardian.

  • Friday 27 October, Sandwell
