Public Board of Directors papers 241122

RA commented on the flowchart being questions rather than a policy telling you what to do and if this was the right format. SM confirmed this is correct as every case is different, if made too transcriptive it wouldn’t fit each scenario. There is a need to make sure the questions are asked and have the robust discussions to reach decisions. Different people have different views on their concerns. RA thanked SM. KW added comment on much of it being about the people and relationship side for the FTSUG. Need to normalise the idea that speaking up is OK and safe and asked if more could be done with examples being shared with others. NB agreed and if could look to get more examples into the essential training this would help. SM agreed and commented that with the training, this is what was given nationally. The intention comes from the organisation but need to also maintain confidentiality. KW agreed noting that there would be a need to anonymise or fictionalise. SM added it is about people thinking about it and making it safe to speak up. No further comments or questions raised. CO thanked SM.
