YMS are signed up to the NHS England Sexual Safety Charter. Signing a charter doesn’t mean a thing unless action is taken. We want to take action in a visible way, to empower our teams and to create a workplace culture where everybody feels safe.

As insourcing teams, we do not have control over the working location/environment. This makes it even more important that YMS make our actions visible to our teams.

Sexual misconduct of any sort can have a lasting effect on those involved. Whether you are the victim, witness, or alleged perpetrator – YMS want to support you through the process of investigation.
