No assessment has been made of the practice of National Health Service trusts using non-disclosure agreements in cases of bullying and harassment affecting staff members.<\/p>

Any clause in a settlement agreement or contract of employment which purports to prevent a member of staff from a making a protected disclosure would have no legal effect. Such clauses are often referred to as \u2018gagging\u2019 clauses and have no place in the NHS. No organisation can to put such a provision in a settlement agreement or employment contract.<\/p>

Since 2013, all agreements where confidentiality clauses are used, also require the inclusion of a clause which makes it crystal clear to the parties concerned, that regardless of what other clauses are used in the agreement, an individual will always be able to make a protected disclosure in the public interest and/or raise concerns about patient safety and care in accordance with their professional and ethical obligations.<\/p>

The NHS Long Term Plan commits £2 million per year to tackling violence against staff and bullying in the NHS. The Plan states that \u201cTo make the NHS a consistently great place to work, we will seek to shape a modern employment culture for the NHS \u2013 promoting flexibility, wellbeing and career development, and redoubling our efforts to address discrimination, violence and bullying and harassment\u201d.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4019", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-03-11", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-03-11T16:54:03.893Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-02-25", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "NHS: Bullying"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the practice of NHS trusts of using non-disclosure agreements in cases of bullying and harassment affecting staff members.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4181", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Beecham"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Beecham"} ], "uin" : "HL13967"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 2, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
