OVERVIEW
About this safeguarding adults training
Safeguarding adults is everyone's responsibility. Anyone who comes into contact with adults at risk needs to know how to spot the signs of abuse, respond to a disclosure and report a concern. This online safeguarding adults training explains what safeguarding means, who may be at risk and why, and the legislation that protects adults across the UK, including the Care Act 2014 and the six principles of safeguarding. It then takes you through the types and signs of abuse, neglect and exploitation, how to respond to a disclosure, and how to report and record concerns, before you apply what you have learned to realistic case studies. New to the topic? Our guide to safeguarding adults at risk is a useful starting point.
