This 360° feedback tool has been carefully designed to support professional reflection, not evaluation. 

It is developmental, voluntary, and confidential.

We recognise that receiving feedback — especially in leadership roles — can feel vulnerable. To protect your psychological wellbeing and make the process as safe and useful as possible, we commit to the following:

✅ You are in control: You decide whether to participate, who gives feedback, and what you do with the results.

✅ All responses are anonymous and non-judgemental: No individual comments will be attributed to any person.

✅ This is not linked to appraisal or performance management.

✅ You’ll be offered a private, confidential 1:1 session to explore the feedback in a reflective and supportive way.

✅ You can withdraw at any time without consequence.

✅ The language used in reports and questions is strengths-based, inclusive, and trauma-informed.

If at any point you feel concerned, overwhelmed, or unsure, you are welcome to speak confidentially with Vicky Carpenter, who will support you in navigating the process with care and integrity.
