Speak up Day today
May 1, 2019
Today marks our 4th Speak Up Day. Speak up Day is an opportunity for you to find out about the different ways to speak up and meet our Freedom to Speak up Guardians and other leaders, who will be out and about today talking to people about the importance of speaking up.
Our Trust has a strong track record in encouraging people to speak up and there are a range of ways that you can do this including talking to your manager, contacting a Trade Union rep, raising an incident, writing to our Heartbeat letters page, talking to a Trust specialist such as Counter-Fraud, ringing Safecall (our confidential whistleblowing line), or getting help from a Freedom to Speak up Guardian.
We would appreciate it if you could spare us a couple of minutes to complete our Speak up survey as will enable us to better create a speak up culture together.

All of our Speak up Guardians have received specialised training and are well placed to listen to issues and guide concerned colleagues on the best way to resolve those problems. This gives colleagues the avenue to be able to turn to Guardians if they want to talk about any issues they feel need addressing.
