Description

Safeguarding vulnerable adults is a crucial responsibility for anyone working in social care. A vulnerable adult, defined as someone over 18 with care and support needs, is at risk of abuse or neglect. It is imperative that care workers understand how to protect the rights of vulnerable adults and prevent harm.

This course offers comprehensive training on key aspects of safeguarding vulnerable adults. Participants will gain knowledge about relevant legislations, types of abuse, safeguarding policies and procedures, risk management, and multi-agency collaboration. Armed with this knowledge, participants will be able to identify signs of abuse, handle disclosures appropriately, and report concerns through the proper channels.

The aim is to equip individuals with the expertise needed to safeguard the well-being of vulnerable individuals in their care. By the course's conclusion, participants should be able to demonstrate a solid understanding of safeguarding principles and fulfil their duty to protect the vulnerable.
