How to use this values questionnaire
- You will be presented with a series of scenarios which our staff sometimes face.
- These situations have been developed and chosen by our staff, as times where values are important.
- For each scenario you will be offered four possible responses.
- You will be asked to put the possible responses in order, from the one that is 'most like you' to the one that is 'least like you'.
- While some of the possible responses might seem similar, you will still need to choose between them as to which is more or less like you.
- Some of the scenarios describe interactions with patients. Everyone in our organisation is responsible for our patients' wellbeing, so even if you are applying for a job without direct patient contact, you should also complete these scenarios.

| You suggest to your manager that it’s time for a team update on confidentiality in and outside of the workplace. | ||||
| You decide not to embarrass your colleague there and then but speak to them the next day privately to raise your concerns. | ||||

| Don’t embarrass them by approaching them to tell them what a good job they have done but speak to their manager so they know their efforts have not gone unrecognised. | ||||
