It is complicated - I'm not a great fan of this 'safe space' idea, from what I'd seen of it [which was only of the 'what I've come across 'in passing'' variety].

It's not pretty, imo Mike. Pretty much the exact opposite of what Duty of Candour was supposed to be all about. Worth following
@PeterWalshAvMA's tweets on the subject for a bite-sized overview if you want to know more. Needs to be stopped in its tracks. -
From what I recall, 'safe spaces' were being proposed because without them, the worry was that clinicians would simply not admit mistakes: of course, if only clinicians are inside the safe space, how can 'we' judge whether a mistake 'was culpable or 'forgivable''?.

Exactly. Clinicians already don't admit their mistakes. Duty of candour is not the individual statutory duty Francis called for & the organisational offering is farce. We're starting to be able to scrutinise them. They don't like it. They want it to stop. I don't think it should.
