Sexual Safety in the NHS- How to Report Concerns & Create Safer Workplaces | The Right Chamber Ep 32

The final episode in this three-part mini-series focuses on what happens next. Building on lived experience and survey data, this conversation explores how organisations can move from awareness to action when it comes to sexual safety in the workplace. Paul Singh and Dr Andrea Gait discuss reporting pathways, the importance of clarity and transparency, and why confidence in reporting systems is critical. The episode addresses common frustrations around delays, lack of feedback, and uncertainty about outcomes, highlighting how these issues can discourage future reporting and erode trust. The discussion also looks at accountability, particularly when allegations involve senior staff, and why no individual should feel “untouchable” because of their role or position. Training, leadership responsibility and proactive culture change are explored as essential components of creating safer environments. Crucially, this episode emphasises that sexual safety is not solely the responsibility of those affected, but of teams, leaders and organisations as a whole. It reinforces the idea that challenging inappropriate behaviour, supporting colleagues, and maintaining clear processes are collective responsibilities. The series concludes with a call for continued learning, openness and commitment to building respectful, psychologically safe workplaces across the NHS. 00:48 - Meet the Guests: Dr. Andrea Gate & Paul Singh 01:40 - Series Finale Overview: Action and Accountability 03:07 - Outcome of the Sexual Harassment Survey 03:25 - The Sexual Safety Steering Group and the NHS Charter 04:39 - The Three Pillars: Accountability, Confidence, and Reporting 05:15 - "Ward to Board" Responsibility: Executive Sponsorship 06:15 - Overcoming Communication Barriers in the Trust 07:32 - The "It’s Never Just a Joke" Campaign 09:05 - Walkabouts and In-Person Engagement with Staff 11:22 - Scenario-Based Training and Lived Experience 13:13 - The Rollout of Monthly Sexual Safety Training 14:13 - Active Bystander Training: From Witness to Ally 16:47 - De-escalation Techniques: The Power of Asking "What Do You Mean?" 18:16 - Breaking the Spell: Checking in with Colleagues After an Incident 21:02 - Future Goals: Mandatory Training and Intersectionality 23:45 - Reflecting on 20 Years of Culture Shift in the NHS 25:20 - National and Global Hopes for Accountability 27:22 - The Importance of Clear Sanctions and Consequences 30:51 - Local Support Routes: Who to Contact for Help 32:18 - Closing Remarks and Series Wrap-up Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6BMxswW...
