Talk to someone
There are a number of people and teams across the Trust that are here to listen to you and provide you with support advice and guidance:
Chaplaincy Department
The Chaplaincy and Spiritual Care team exists to support staff as much as service users, carers and visitors. The team provide a confidential listening and support service for all staff, and this can take place through formalised sessions such as referrals from Occupational Health, self-referrals or informal meetings. You don't have to be religious to make contact and we are always available so please do ask. You can contact Simon Moult - Chaplain & Co-ordinator of Faith Services via email Simon.Moult@covwarkpt.nhs.uk or on his mobile number: 07767 005987 or click here .
Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Support
Whilst ensuring that staff are advised and supported on the wider equality agenda through training, the Equality Diversity and Inclusion team support staff who may have experienced harassment, bullying or verbal abuse because of their religion or belief, age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, sex or sexual orientation. We provide a confidential listening support service to all staff and patients. Support is also available to users and carers from minority groups to support them through their healthcare journey. Contact the Equality Diversity and Inclusion Team on 024 7684 4031 or visit the intranet.
Coaching
Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust fully supports the use of coaches and mentors within the workplace setting and actively encourages you to explore this opportunity.
Coaching is available to provide you with positive support and feedback on individual or group objectives. For those people who have a coach they may find that they feel more supported and motivated, it can increase confidence and ultimately improve performance. A coach will help you reach your full potential and can be used to help you reach specific goals within work and beyond.

Freedom to Speak Up Guardian
In our Trust we want an open culture where everyone feels safe to highlight concerns or poor practice when they see it, without the fear of repercussion or reprisal. Our Freedom to Speak Up Guardians are here to listen to staff who have concerns about patient care or safety; staff wellbeing; misconduct or fraud. Further information can be found here.
