The NHS England Safe Learning Environment Charter

sets out the supportive learning environment required for continuous learning, to allow learners to become well-rounded professionals with the right skills and knowledge to provide safe and compassionate care of the highest quality across the NHS. It is underpinned by principles of equality, diversity, and inclusion and patient safety.

 

 

 

NHS England Safe Learning Environment Charter (SLEC) has 10 priorities, that underpin the culture of our learning environments:

 

  • Respect and feeling valued
  • Positive identity
  • Wellbeing
  • Raising concerns & speaking up
  • Placement induction
  • Communication
  • Flexibility
  • Supervision
  • Teaching and learning needs
  • Time and space for learning

 

The Training Exchange continues to deliver training for NHS colleagues. In the past 3 years this has included:

 

Callers in crisis training for Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust  Facilitating group supervision and Callers in crisis for Gloucestershire Health & Care NHS Foundation Trust

 

Training for trainers and Substance misuse and Dual diagnosis for Devon Partnership NHS Trust

 

Supervision skills for Bristol NHS Foundation Trust
