Deliver with ethics

Don’t be afraid to Speak Up by using our updated helpline

We want to encourage an environment where colleagues feel safe to call out behaviour that goes against our values.

That’s why we’ve switched to a new independent supplier for our confidential Speak Up helpline, from today, so cases can be managed more effectively and efficiently.

The helpline encourages our people to challenge the status quo and report any concerns they have.

Speak Up is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. You can remain anonymous, too, if you wish.

From today, to use Speak Up, you can:

Phone the new helpline number on 0800 090 3154 to speak to an operator
Use Google Chrome only to access this online service, as it doesn’t work in Internet Explorer: https://royalmail.gan-compliance.com/p/speakup

Dr Shaun Davis, group compliance and sustainability director, encourages everyone to save the new number to their phone, for when it may be needed.

‘You are all the eyes and ears of the business – not to mention its conscience,’ he said. ‘Simply following the rules is not enough to protect the business from reputational and financial harm.

‘That’s where having a culture of compliance and ethics comes in. This means deciding what we need to do to be successful and then running that decision through an ethical filter. For example, does it comply with our policies and our Business Standards? Is it in line with our culture and values? Would it reflect badly on Royal Mail?

‘By delivering profits with ethics, we retain the trust of our customers, our colleagues, our unions and our regulators and enhance our already strong reputation.’

Speak Up | ‘We need to know what is going on’

To mark World Whistleblowers Day, head of Speak Up Debbie King wants to remind colleagues of the service and why it’s important.
Debbie took over Speak Up in 2021, having retired as a senior police officer in 2019.

As a direct result of colleagues accessing the service, 800 cases were raised across all areas of the business for 2022-23.
Remember, Speak Up is a confidential service available to everyone across the business.

I used speak up. What a waste of time. I brought to your attention bullying and procedures not being followed amongst other things. You did nothing about it. Mental health problems. When I brought them to managers attention he did nowt. Finally had to resign after a vexatious allegations by management. Got investigated found in my favour, only took 14 months 2 weeks and 5 days.it’s only a publicity stunt to make you look as though you care. Manager still employed and no action taken against him. Got all the paperwork and emails to back it up
