Freedom to speak up

The CQC statement

“We foster a positive culture where people feel they can speak up and that their voice will be heard.”

This is one of the Well-led Quality Statements in the CQC Single Assessment Framework. To meet it, providers need to demonstrate relevant evidence during assessment.

Example evidence

A few examples of the evidence CQC inspectors expect to see for this area:

Practice Mission Statement and Strategy Document
