I’ve had some not so complimentary comments this week regarding my role as an SC and how that reflects into my day job - all I can say is I am proud to be an SC in Hampshire and nothing will change that.

Does anyone else answer their phone sometimes with a “yes yes” or “go ahead” ?
And how often do you say to people “free to speak”?

Lot of negative posts on here about SCs, how we are trained, valued, used etc. Thought I’d just flip it for one small post of positivity
