23/24 MIAA Insight Series – Through the Audit Committee Lens – Freedom to Speak Up

From 2022 all NHS organisations and others providing NHS healthcare services in primary and secondary care in England were required to adopt NHS England’s mandated policy on Freedom to Speak Up (FTSU) as the minimum standard.

During 2022, MIAA produced an Insight publication which provided information to support audit committees in reviewing their organisation’s FTSU governance arrangements including reporting and their role of oversight and challenge of FTSU processes within the organisation.

This Insight is a follow up intended to prompt and inform assessment of the effectiveness of the systems and processes developed to embed the role of the FTSU Guardian and providing assurance to the Board.
