On 13 November 2025, individuals, workplaces, and communities across the globe will observe World Kindness Day, a celebration of compassion, empathy, and shared humanity. Kindness, often seen as a personal virtue, is also a strategic force in building trust, safety, and inclusion, especially in regulated sectors such as health and social care, education, and employment. The 2025 campaign calls on organisations to transform kindness into action: through respectful leadership, psychological safety, and values-based governance. In this blog, Anna Nova Galeon explores how small acts of kindness can drive big change, strengthening culture, boosting morale, and embedding ethical practice through ComplyPlus™, where well-being and compliance work hand in hand.

From 3 to 7 November 2025, the UK marks Trustees’ Week, an annual celebration of the nearly one million trustees who guide charities and community organisations with integrity and vision. The 2025 theme, “Celebrating the power of good governance” calls on trustees to strengthen governance, accountability, and collaboration in a changing regulatory landscape. For regulated sectors such as health and social care, education, and public services, the parallels are clear: effective oversight, transparent decision-making, and ethical leadership are the foundations of trust. In this blog, Anna Nova Galeon explores how Trustees’ Week 2025 challenges boards to reflect, review, and renew their governance practices - ensuring that compliance and culture evolve together.

Every October, the UK celebrates Black History Month, a time to honour the heritage, resilience, and achievements of Black communities across all sectors of society. The 2025 theme, “Standing Firm in Power and Pride”, celebrates cultural identity while calling for continued progress in equality, representation, and justice. For regulated organisations across health and social care, education, and public services, Black History Month is more than remembrance; it’s a compliance imperative. In this blog, Anna Nova Galeon explores how leaders can embed diversity and inclusion into governance, workforce training, and accountability frameworks, ensuring that equality is not just recognised but realised through ComplyPlus™.
