Respect & feeling valued

Learners should be treated with respect and valued as team members. A supportive environment is one where learners are welcomed into the team, thanked for their contribution, and given regular praise and constructive feedback. Learners' views, opinions, clinical judgement, and prior experiences should be heard to help build their confidence. Learners who are empowered to ask questions and speak for themselves, will feel that they are part of a wider organisational culture which is free from bullying and harassment and is inclusive to all team members.
