Content

NHS England Safe Learning Environment Charter (SLEC) has 10 priorities, they are:

1. Respect and feeling valued
2. Positive identity
3. Wellbeing
4. Raising concerns & speaking up
5. Placement induction
6. Communication
7. Flexibility
8. Supervision
9. Teaching and learning needs
10. Time and space for learning.

The SLEC priorities and solutions present clearly to education and placement providers, assessors, supervisors and learners, as well as others working in the health and care system, what must underpin the culture of our learning environments. 

The SLEC is written for the use of education and placement providers, assessors, supervisors and learners, however it must be actioned by everyone, everywhere, every day and the behaviours and principles embedded into our culture.

Equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) and patient safety is the golden thread that runs through the SLEC Charter.
