          <inserted>The 2021 AGD Your Voice Survey results indicates that with respect to whether staff feel safe to speak up and challenge the way things are done in the agency (question 11h), 25 per cent of staff disagreed (15 per cent) or strongly disagreed (10 per cent) with this statement (page 11).</inserted>

          <inserted>In summary, the 25 per cent figure represents staff who felt it wasn't safe speak out and challenge the way things are done. This represents an improvement compared with the 30 per cent of respondents who didn't feel it was safe to speak out and challenge the way things are done as part of the 2018 survey.</inserted>

          <inserted>The member for Kaurna appears to be interpreting the figure of 25 per cent as representing those staff who do feel it is safe to speak up and challenge the way things are done in the agency. This is incorrect.</inserted>
