Sexual Safety in the NHS and the data.
Episode two of this three-part mini series focuses on staff survey findings exploring sexual harassment in the NHS. Rather than presenting numbers alone, the conversation explains what the data reveals about prevalence, experience and reporting.
Looking beyond the headlines
From there, the discussion moves beneath the surface. Guests explore why reporting rates remain low, including fears around power imbalance, lack of confidence in outcomes, and concerns about not being taken seriously.
Silence does not mean safety
Importantly, the episode challenges the idea that low reporting equals low harm. Instead, it highlights how silence often reflects fear, normalisation and uncertainty about what will happen next.
Context matters
Experiences involving patients are also discussed, adding depth to the findings and reinforcing the complexity of sexual safety in healthcare. Overall, this episode shows why data must be understood in context and used as a tool for improvement, not reassurance.
