Pledges

To continue speaking up so that the work place can be a better place for us as employees, which improves patient care.

My pledge as a FTSU Champion is to always be available to listen in a non-judgemental way and to support and encourage the person speaking up

To work together with our FTSU Guardian at our organisation to encourage a speaking up culture and to share learning.

To encourage and support others to speak up whenever they need to, I will do this whenever I am talking to colleagues about incidents and delivering training.

To encourage people to speak up at my organisation.

To encourage colleagues to speak up by joining the FTSU team at my Trust, as an FTSU Ambassador.

To make sure that Freedom to Speak Up becomes a part of day to day practice.

I will always strive to be fair, consistent and considered, without bias in my role as Freedom to Speak up Guardian and ensure any concern raised to me is fully investigated and feedback is given.

To continue to foster and promote a positive speaking up and listening culture in the organisation to improve a safer environment for patients and staff

To always really listen to everyone I interact with and be supportive, their cheerleader. To always act in a way that ensures everyone feels able to speak up. We all need soul recharge at some point, we’re all responsible to make that happen

I will give good or bad feedback by telling the NHS organisation or service about it

To speak up and help others if they feel something is wrong or they do not feel comfortable. I will guide them in raising a concern and support them though out so that the trust can become a better work place for all.

If I hear, see or become aware of anything in the work place that I am in anyway concerned about, however trivial or major I will speak about it with my manager, senior person or my Freedom to Speak up Guardian.

I will always speak up as it is the right thing to do.

To speak up about anything I believe will bring about a better way or outcome for the NHS.

As a FTSU Ambassador, I pledge to support those who wish to speak up as I firmly believe that everyone has the right to be treated with kindness and to be a part of an organisation that values their contribution and differences.

To always speak up no matter how uncomfortable the situation is.

To always speak up for what is right and fair, and to give an ear and a voice to those that do not feel confident enough to speak up for themselves.

To always listen when people are speaking up and to always thank them for doing so.

To speak up when the need arises so as to keep myself and others safe.

I will speak up when I see opportunities to improve the services we provide and I will encourage and support others to do the same.

I will create an environment of free speaking, thanking staff for speaking up and always providing feedback.

To listen to colleagues & encourage them to speak up if they ask my opinion of whether they should. I will also speak up if something doesn’t seem right or could be improved upon.

I will listen to colleagues’ concerns and thank them for it.

I will remember that I can approach my line manager if there is something I am worried about, like safe practices etc.

I promise to encourage all my staff to speak up during meetings.
