Welcome to day four of Speak Up Week – ‘I Spoke Up Day’

We hope you are enjoying all the information being shared in the daily brief and here on the Speak Up webpage.

Here are the resources for today:

In conversation with...

Join us for a Speak Up Week special "In Conversation with..." Caroline Hiscox who is joined by Sneh Banik, Consultant at ARI and NHS Grampian diversity champion, where they discuss the hugely detrimental effects of racism and the challenges it poses us as a healthcare organisation.

Advice on Equality and Diversity issues is available via the NHS Grampian Equality and Diversity team. Details available via this NHSG intranet link.

There are a number of ways people can speak up. Often this can be through your line manager but, if you feel that isn't appropriate, a concern can be highlighted in confidence here (Networked devices only).

You can also raise a concern with one of the confidential contacts via the short online confidential form at www.nhsgrampian.org/about-us/whistleblowing or by emailing gram.whistleblowing@nhs.scot 

Concerns can also be raised:

  • Through a manager or member of staff who can support you to make contact with a confidential contact.
  • Through your University or College, who can contact the confidential contact on your behalf and protect your identity completely.
  • Through your Volunteer Co-ordinator, who can contact the confidential contact on your behalf and protect your identity completely.

* Please note the confidential contacts are available to support and offer advice to anyone working, supporting, volunteering, or undertaking training in any place providing NHS services in Grampian, regardless of their role or who they are employed by.
