What is an online Safe Space Conversation?
The Safe Space Conversation is hosted independently and operates like an online virtual room or discussion forum that you can join from any internet-connected device, at any time to suit you. It has been designed to be a psychologically safe place to share your opinions and have your voice heard. Our Safe Space Conversation is intended to be open and transparent place to post comments and suggestions anonymously, vote to support the ideas of others, or simply read what is being shared.
When is the Safe Space Conversation open?
For one week from Friday 13th September until 11.59pm on Friday 20th September.
What are the rules?
We welcome all ideas, whether they are potentially controversial or about difficult topics. However, we expect you to be respectful with your contributions. Please take a moment to read our community guidelines, which include some practical tips on how to use the platform and have as good conversations, as well as outlining our simple ground rules:
- Keep it anonymous
- Keep it respectful
- Keep it relevant
- Keep it legal
How can I contribute to the conversation?
There are three main ways to contribute to the Conversation:- Adding ideas
- Commenting on the ideas of others
- Voting on the ideas and comments of others
Do I have to make comments or post ideas?
No. You can simply log in and read the discussion or use the 'Like' and 'Dislike' buttons to submit your views. We believe that everyone has something to contribute.
Is it really anonymous?
Yes, your name or identifying information will not appear with any of your ideas, comments or votes on the platform. This means your contributions will be considered based on what you say, not who you are. Find out more about your anonymity here.
How is this different to the NHS staff survey?
Like staff surveys, the Conversation is anonymous. Unlike staff surveys, Our Way to Exception Care Together allows dialogue between you and your colleagues. When you share an Idea, your colleagues can publicly agree, disagree, ask questions about and build upon what you said. It’s a chance to discuss topics you may not feel comfortable or able to talk about in person, with people you may not often interact with. You will read the thoughts, ideas, concerns and experiences of colleagues right across UHDB and know that everything you say will be read and considered.
