Safety Takes Courage: Have your say in the volunteer and staff Safety Surveys
On Monday 16 June we are launching the Safety Survey to volunteers and non-seasonal staff.
Back in November, I shared with you with an update on our approach to how we keep our people safe in the RNLI linking to one of our core values, ‘Safety Takes Courage’. One of the key elements is encouraging people to have the courage to speak up. Implicit in that is that we will listen to you.
My personal request is that you always speak up and share your thoughts on what has gone well and what hasn’t – we must make this normal, without this understanding it is very hard to continually improve how we ‘keep our people safe’.
On Monday 16 June we are launching the Safety Survey to volunteers and non-seasonal staff (seasonal staff will be surveyed later in August).
This is a focused survey to collate feedback on what you think and how you feel about volunteering or working for the RNLI from a safety perspective. It will gather information to help us understand attitudes, beliefs and views around how keeping people safe is led and managed.
This feedback, from each one of you is vitally important to our collective safety, in whatever role you undertake, so please do all that you can to spread the word and encourage your crews, colleagues and teams to also complete the survey; this is for the benefit of everyone.
How to complete your survey
You will be sent a personal survey link to your RNLI email (staff, some volunteers) or personal email address (majority of volunteers) on Monday 16 June.
Encourage others to speak up and share their views too
We would like to hear from as many of our volunteers and staff as possible. Please help to spread the word and ensure that you complete the survey before 6 July. You can download and share the Safety Survey poster (PDF - 250KB).
If you have any questions, please email the safety team on [email protected] or read the FAQs (PDF - 94KB).
