COURSE DESCRIPTION
Every individual has the right to live safely, be treated with dignity and have their basic rights respected. Safeguarding adults is about protecting people from abuse and neglect while supporting them to maintain choice, independence and control over their lives.
This Safeguarding Adults Course provides an introduction to safeguarding principles, legislation and responsibilities when working with adults who may be in need of care and support.
The course explores the different types of abuse that vulnerable adults may experience, how to recognise potential signs of abuse and what action should be taken when there are concerns about abuse or neglect.
Recognising and Responding to Abuse
A key part of safeguarding adults training is understanding how to recognise potential signs of abuse and knowing what to do when concerns arise.
The course examines the different types of abuse suffered by vulnerable adults and provides learners with an understanding of how concerns should be identified and reported.
Learners will also explore the importance of following appropriate safeguarding policies, procedures and reporting processes.
Safeguarding Legislation
The course introduces key legislation relating to adult safeguarding and explains why these laws and regulations are important in helping to protect adults with care and support needs from abuse and neglect.
Understanding the relevant safeguarding framework can help learners recognise their responsibilities and the importance of following appropriate policies and procedures within their role.
Supporting Choice and Independence
Effective safeguarding is not simply about protecting people from harm. It also involves supporting individuals to have control over their own lives and make their own decisions wherever possible.
The course explores the importance of supporting people to make informed decisions, giving consent and maintaining appropriate boundaries while taking proportionate measures to reduce the risk of abuse.
