Overview and Outcomes.
Overview
This module examines why harm is so often known about before it is acted on. It draws on the Mid Staffordshire inquiry chaired by Robert Francis, sets out six parts of a speaking up system, outlines whistleblowing law under the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998, traces changes to speaking up in health and care in Wales and England, and applies Amy Edmondson's work on psychological safety and its three moves. This capstone reads three real cases through the lenses built across the topic: Winterbourne View, Operation Jasmine in South East Wales, and the national review into the deaths of Arthur Labinjo-Hughes and Star Hobson. Drawing on Margaret Flynn's reviews and the Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel, it traces common threads in warning signs, voices, information and accountability, and what leaders must sustain every day.
What you'll develop
In this Bitesize, you will develop the ability to:
- Explain, using Mid Staffordshire, why warnings that already exist in an organisation can fail to reach the people who could act on them.
- Outline the six parts of an effective speaking up system and the basic shape of UK whistleblowing law, including what that law cannot do.
- Apply Edmondson's three moves and the signals of healthy and unhealthy speaking up cultures to judge and strengthen psychological safety in your team.
- Describe what was known before abuse was exposed at Winterbourne View, and why the available warning signs did not lead to action.
- Explain the accountability gap revealed by Operation Jasmine and Margaret Flynn's review, and identify who should be answerable in your own system.
