This Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults Online Course is designed to provide an essential introduction for anyone who is new to the subject and act as a refresher for those who already work with vulnerable people in a paid or voluntary capacity. Most adults live normal happy lives. However, for a number of unfortunate people, abuse is a reality and the effects can lead to great unhappiness and sometimes, tragedy. In simple terms, abuse to adults exists and if you suspect that a person is abusing or being abused, your responsibility is to prevent it. Also, if you are working with vulnerable adults, you have a legal duty of care to intervene and this is fully supported by legislation. It is not enough to claim ignorance of the abuse or fail to assist.
This short online programme is designed for anyone who comes into contact with children through their work or leisure activities and aims to provide a practical awareness of the issues relating to the protection of children. This is achieved through exploring the concepts of child vulnerability, child protection and significant harm. Building on these concepts the issue of child abuse is explored through focusing on the four main forms of abuse and bullying. There is a brief examination of the law that underpins child protection and the responsibility in relation to handling the disclosure of abuse by children. By the end of the study the learner will be equipped with the knowledge, understanding and skills to recognise the signs and symptoms of child vulnerability and abuse which will in turn help to reduce its incidence.
