Speak Up Day: 9 September

September 8, 2020

Tomorrow (Wednesday 9 September) is Speak Up Day. Speak Up Day gives you the opportunity to find out about the different ways to speak up if you have a concern about safety at work. You can find out about our Freedom to Speak Up Guardians and you also have an opportunity to book a confidential conversation with one of our Trust leaders. Their availability will be published on Connect so that you can book an appointment. 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.

Building up to Speak Up Day, each day we will be profiling one of the ways in which people can speak up. Today we are profiling Whistleblowing.

Our whistleblowing policy is on Connect if you want to formally raise a serious safety issue or concern. You can also call Safecall, the independent 24 hour phone line on 0800 915 1571.

Click here to book in to have a confidential conversation with one of the directors. You can also choose an executive director/group director and book a slot to have a conversation on Wednesday.
