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
