Freedom to Speak Up
At Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust, we are committed to creating a culture where everyone feels safe, supported, and confident to speak up.
Freedom to Speak Up is an important part of ensuring high-quality care, patient safety, and a positive working environment. We encourage all colleagues, including employees, bank workers, students, volunteers, and contractors, to raise concerns about anything that may impact patient care, staff wellbeing, safety, or the quality of our services.
Speaking up helps us learn, improve, and address issues before they become bigger problems. We are committed to listening, responding appropriately, and ensuring concerns are handled fairly, confidentially where possible, and without fear of disadvantage.
Our Freedom to Speak Up vision is focused on:
- Raising awareness of Freedom to Speak Up
- Building confidence in speaking up
- Providing training and support for staff
- Strengthening governance and learning from concerns raised
