Resource Library: Health and Wellbeing Guardian

This guidance helps healthcare organisations to implement the health and wellbeing guardian function. This function supports the development of a compassionate and inclusive wellbeing culture by independently challenging senior leaders, seeking assurance and recommending models, methods and resources to support employee wellbeing.

It also describes how wellbeing guardians should ideally work with existing roles such as health and wellbeing leads, occupational health, human resources and organisational development teams, and wider stakeholders who support the wellbeing of our NHS people.
