Welcome to day two of Speak Up Week – ‘Launch of Speak Up Programme’

Coming very soon! Speak Up Programme for Grampian

Today we would like to let you know about our plans to roll out the Speak Up programme and recruit Speak Up Advocates to enhance staff culture and improve the staff experience. 

The ‘Speak Up’ programme will soon be opening up recruitment and asking people to apply for the role of ‘Speak Up Advocate.’  This is a voluntary role and will be undertaken in addition to a substantive post.

Speak Up Advocates will be available to staff who would like to discuss raising a concern in a safe and supported environment. Speak Up Advocates do not direct ‘next steps’ but will provide a confidential space as an impartial first point of contact and offer guidance around options for resolution and signposting to the range of support available.

This exciting and rewarding opportunity will not only help colleagues to feel supported to speak up, but will also promote a culture of ‘listen up’ to help overcome barriers where communication may be challenging and help us as an organisation to enhance our culture and improve the health and wellbeing of our staff.

Keep an eye on the Daily Brief to find out when recruitment will begin, but in the meantime you find out more about our plans how you will be able to get involved here: NHS Grampian Speak Up

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