Whistleblowing

NHS Golden Jubilee is proud to support and encourage an environment where employees can raise concerns about patient safety, malpractice and other forms of harm.

The existing process focuses on helping staff to raise concerns as early as possible, and supporting and protecting them when they do.

A 3-stage process has been developed by the Independent National Whistleblowing Officer (INWO), with the procedures detailed in the National Whistleblowing Standards.

The first 2 stages are for NHS Golden Jubilee to deliver, with the INWO acting as a final independent review. If the individual remains dissatisfied, they are able to escalate this for external review to the Independent National Whistleblowing Officer.

This process allows staff 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.
