There's a big difference between "speaking up" & "calling out". This is so relevant in the context of building psychological safety & addressing issues & concerns within teams. ‘Speak up’ cultures enable people to get under the surface of issues; to feel & be heard. ‘Call out’ cultures shut down open & honest communication, breeding fear & discontent. When things go wrong, there's often a knee jerk reaction towards fault finding. Stepping back from this & instead focusing on finding solutions supports growth & development of people & systems.

[Anti-Bullying Alliance #AntiBullyingWeek @ABAonline]

For some #AntiBullyingWeek may have made them realise that what they thought was banter, is actually bullying

Here are some ways we can all #MakeANoise about bullying and help those in need 🔊📢

[BHFT Freedom to Speak Up Guardian📣👂(he/him) @BHFTGuardian]

One way to #SpeakUp to your Organisation is to anonymously complete the NHS Staff Survey (only a few day's left). If @BHFT staff have more immediate concerns, please #SpeakUpToMe in confidence for advice/support.

Dr Jayne Chidgey-Clark talks about why this year's Speak Up Month has the theme of removing the barriers to speaking up.

"Everyone's voice deserves to be heard. Your voice matters."
