Speak Up Week

Speak Up Week is an annual campaign designed to promote a culture where staff feel safe, supported, and empowered to raise concerns within the NHS in Scotland.

Speak Up Week 2026

This year, Speak Up Week will run from Monday 28 September to Friday 2 October 2026.
 It marks a key milestone in 5 years of the National Whistleblowing Standards.

 In light of this, we are pleased to announce this year’s theme:
“Five Years of the Whistleblowing Standards – What’s Changed? What’s Next?”

Keep an eye out for more updates in the weeks and months to come!
