Est. in the Cabinet Office

Safe Workplace started in the Cabinet Office.

The Cabinet Office commissioned a Discovery that assessed how workplace harm could be reduced using digital tools. We answered it. That research inspired Safe Workplace, which now helps power some of the most demanding organisations on earth.

You sparked the change. Our quid pro quo? Best pricing available that sits under procurement thresholds. Easy, simple, best-in-class. Thank you.

We answered — and they're seeing the results

The public sector should set the example. The data says otherwise.

Government is meant to be the beacon — the standard every employer measures against. On dignity at work, too often it isn't. The behaviours are corrosive, the reporting tools are dated, and the people who speak up too rarely see it lead anywhere.

Tool adoption has been slow, and the cost of that is measured in people. A modern, trusted way to speak up isn't a nice-to-have in government — it's the example everyone else is watching.
The Blueprint Started With You

Discovery and Alpha taught us what could be done.

Our Discovery in the Cabinet Office mapped the real problem: not a lack of policy, but a lack of trusted, usable tools to capture concerns and act on them. Alpha proved what good could look like. That research — your research — is the foundation of CalmER.

Discovery
We listened

Interviews, service mapping and the data behind workplace harm across government teams.

Alpha
We prototyped

Tested ways to make speaking up safe, simple and consistently acted upon.

Beta
We proved it

A working service, iterated with real users against the Service Standard.

Live
It became CalmER

The blueprint, now a product trusted from startups to global enterprises.

Corporates Benefited

They acted on your research — and saw the results.

The private sector took the blueprint built in government and ran with it. The outcomes are theirs. The public sector that created the thinking deserves the same — on better terms. Read the customer stories.

Public-Sector Pricing

Preferential pricing, for the sector that sparked us.

We price the public sector to remove the barrier, not to clear a margin. Because the goal was never revenue — it was getting the nastiness out of teams that serve the country. Tell us your department and headcount; we'll meet you there.

High standards, hard frameworks, strapped budgets.

The NHS holds some of the highest care standards in the world, governed by some of the most complex frameworks — CQC, PSIRF, WRES, the Single Assessment Framework — on budgets stretched thinner every year. And the workforce data on dignity at work makes for hard reading.

The Blueprint Started With You

Built in government, hardened for healthcare.

The same Cabinet Office Discovery into reducing harm became the foundation for CompliantCare — then shaped to the frameworks the NHS actually lives by. Full GRC: incidents, policies, audits, risk and regulatory monitoring in one system that respects a stretched budget.

Discovery
We mapped the harm

Where incidents, complaints and risk fall through the cracks between systems.

Alpha
We modelled the fix

One source of truth aligned to CQC, PSIRF and the Single Assessment Framework.

Beta
We proved it on the ward

Frontline-friendly capture and continuous, inspection-ready evidence.

Live
It became CompliantCare

Full quality & compliance, trusted across regulated healthcare.

Corporates Benefited

Independent providers proved it works. The NHS should have it too.

Private healthcare groups retired legacy GRC stacks and turned inspection scrambles into continuous readiness. The public system that inspired the work deserves the same outcomes — affordably. Read the customer stories.

Public-Sector Pricing

NHS pricing, built for strapped budgets.

We price for the public purse — because the point was always reducing harm, not maximising margin. Tell us your trust or ICB and your footprint, and we'll structure something that respects the budget and the standards in equal measure.
