October is Freedom To Speak Up Month. Speaking up is about anything that gets in the way of providing good care.

When things go wrong, we need to make sure lessons are learnt and things are improved. If we think something might go wrong, it’s important that we all feel able to speak up so potential harm is prevented.

Even when things are good, if they could be even better, we should feel able to say something and should expect that our suggestion is listened to and used as an opportunity for improvement. Speaking up is about all of these things.
