Our programme aims to foster an inclusive, civil, and respectful culture for our patients, people who draw on our support, and staff.

WHAT IS THE ACTIVE BYSTANDER PROGRAMME?

The Active Bystander Programme is an innovative programme that will support colleagues to become active bystanders who feel confident to take an early intervention approach to prevent negative behaviours from escalating. This will contribute to improving the health and wellbeing our staff and patients and people who draw on our support to grow a culture of civility and respect.

We are working in partnership across the Midlands region and in close association with Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland (LLR) Integrated Care System (ICS), to establish the programme within our Organisation.

• Establish a pro-active system culture approach to address harmful behaviours

• Promote a compassionate and inclusive leadership culture

• Adopt an early intervention approach which can prevent negative behaviours from escalating, and facilitate learning

• Enhance the health and wellbeing our staff and service users

At the heart of this work is creating a sense of belonging where everyone feels valued and respected.
