Suggest new separate page entry for National Guardian for NHS - Freedom to Speak Up
The role of the National Guardian for the NHS and Freedom to Speak Up Guardians were established in 2016 following the events at Mid-Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust and recommendations from Sir Robert Francis’ Freedom to Speak Up Inquiry.

The National Guardian’s Office is an independent, non-statutory body with the remit to lead culture change in the NHS, so that speaking up becomes "business as usual". The office is sponsored by the Care Quality Commission, NHS England and NHS Improvement.

In January 2016 Eileen Sills was appointed as the first Freedom to Speak Up National Guardian for the NHS. She resigned two months later, citing that she did not have sufficient time to combine this role with her other work.

Dr Henrietta Hughes was appointed as the second Freedom to Speak Up National Guardian in July 2016. Previously a Medical Director at NHS England, Dr Hughes continues her clinical role one day a week as a GP in central London.

The National Guardian's Office (NGO) leads, trains and supports a network of Freedom to Speak Up Guardians in England. It supports, advises and challenges the health system by describing and disseminating good practice and reviewing the way that organisations have handled speaking up matters.

There are now over 600 fully trained guardians in NHS and independent sector organisations, national bodies and elsewhere that ensure workers can speak up about any issues impacting on their ability to do their job.

Freedom to Speak Up Guardians support workers to speak up when they feel that they are unable to do so by other routes. They ensure that people who speak up are thanked, that the issues they raise are responded to, and make sure that the person speaking up receives feedback on the actions taken.

Freedom to Speak Up Guardians are appointed by the organisation that they support and abide by the guidance issued by the NGO. They work proactively to support their organisation to tackle barriers to speaking up. Guardians come from a wide range of professional backgrounds and seniorities. Their role is independent and impartial, and they work reactively and proactively.

Over 35,000 cases have been brought to Freedom to Speak Up Guardians since April 2017.
