Some of our client testimonials

Raising concerns anonymously has helped more people feel confident in coming forward, that they are being listened to and, that something will happen. It’s been a great way to introduce people to speaking up and helping the Trust improve their preventative initiatives. Trying to help people to do the right thing, to report it and how to report it is so important. The most important thing for us is to get people speaking up and the two-way anonymous reporting channel provides this extra level of security for our staff to come forward The most important thing for us is to get people speaking up and the two-way anonymous reporting channel provides this extra level of security for our staff to come forward.

Liz BessantFreedom to Speak Up Guardian, Avon & Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust and South West Regional Guardian.

Simply providing an anonymous platform encouraged feedback allowing leadership to understand our people’s daily challenges, and best of all, we could track, address and respond to them. Allowing anyone to have a voice has helped us establish ourselves as an outstanding firm to work with

Erin GreenTravers Smith LLP

WorkInConfidence has provided platforms that have enabled staff to speak up and speak out, while we have the opportunity now to listen and engage with purpose. In the first six months, we have had more interactions on the platforms than we had in the first two years on the previous solution If a Trust has a part-time Guardian, this route is ideal due to the admin control functionality and delegation options, so other qualified and authorised personnel can be available to help answer concerns raised. You should have as many routes available as possible to help staff come forward and do the right thing, and an independent, anonymous reporting channel definitely helps to enable staff to come forward early, before the problems escalate. We get to hear about it before the staff go off sick or leave, and the Trust is in a better position to take preventative action – that’s the key”.
