From April 1 2021, there is a new process for raising these concerns, with a new focus on: Helping staff raise concerns as early as possible, and Supporting and protecting staff when they raise concerns. A three-stage process has been developed by the Independent National Whistleblowing Officer (INWO), with the procedures detailed in the National Whistleblowing Standards. The first two stages are for NHS Golden Jubilee to deliver, with INWO acting as a final independent review stage. If the individual remains dissatisfied, they are able to escalate this for external review to the Independent National Whistleblowing Officer. This process gives staff the support and protection needed to feel confident raising concerns if they see something wrong. Full details can be found at this link. Below, you will find videos and useful links to support materials and information around Whistleblowing, including details of your Confidential Contacts and Whistleblowing Champion within the organisation.
