Within the NHS, we believe that psychological safety is the freedom to express one’s self without fear of negative consequences of self-image or career prospects.
One of the concerns expressed by BME staff was that they did not feel confident nor comfortable to speak to people at the top. They would like to express their opinions, concerns and development plans to someone they felt comfortable with.
We at Sussex Partnership have taken these concerns on board and went out to the wider network of BME staff and asked for role model buddies.
