65% of learners confirmed that they know who their Freedom to Speak up Guardian is and how to access their support

In 2021 nearly half of healthcare learners were not aware of who their local FTSUG was. A significant amount of work has been undertaken to promote the role of Freedom to Speak Up Guardian (FTSUG) during 2022/23. The 2022 NETS confirmed that more of learners (65%) now know how to raise concerns with their FTSUG. During the 2022 self-assessment providers confirmed their ongoing commitment to provide a dedicated FTSUG who actively promotes organisational processes to raise concerns.

Speak Up, Listen Up, Follow Up, is a new e-learning package, aimed at everyone working in healthcare. Divided into three modules, it explains in a clear and consistent way what speaking up is and its importance in creating an environment in which people are supported to deliver their best.
