Without psychological safety in improvement work, it simply doesn’t stick. You can have the best tools, the smartest people, and the boldest ideas, but if people don’t feel safe to speak up, challenge the norm, or admit when something isn’t working… nothing really changes.
Want someone to become a "change agent?"
You have to create the right environment
Be true to the cause and purpose
Inspire positive mindsets

Today we celebrated our staff completing the regional level 2 QISW, Nursing & Midwifery course. So proud of their achievements and for keeping going in the busyness of work to improve services for the people we work alongside @BelfastTrust Now onwards! 🙌@grace_reihill@suzyt161
Day 2 and more brilliant leaders discussing their improvement projects across NI social work and social care. I have been so impressed with the work being done and the application of QI methods. Privileged to be there to provide feedback and support. Thanks for the opportunity 🙏
I’m grateful for the freedom to develop & deliver my own training. I love working with groups; the learning, conversations & energy. My research @UlsterUni looking at well-being of approved social workers is adding another layer to this re-approval training @BelfastTrust@setrust
Giving a talk or presentation? Here's some excellent advice - four ways to crush it:
1) Understand your audience: "What do really want to know about my topic & why does it matter to them?”
2) Practice "structured improvisation": Most speakers are either "scripters" (stick to a pre-prepared script) or "wingers" (wing it). Be both.
3) Strike a balance between data & stories: Based on the needs of the audience
4) Set a goal to educate or provide insight, not impress: it's about learning for the audience, not about you.

Today we launch our Christmas appeal!
For women and children experiencing domestic abuse, Christmas can be a dark time of the year. To support our women and children to make this Christmas special, a donation of money, gifts or vouchers would make a real difference.
