Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults
Many of us will have a close friend or family member who is a vulnerable adult. Ensuring the safety and protection of vulnerable adults is something we must do on a daily basis. This Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults course has been designed for people working with vulnerable adults and teaches the skills needed to safeguard people that are at higher risk.
Safeguarding vulnerable adults is a multi-agency effort, and lives can be saved by sharing information and working together. By the end of this course, you will be able to offer support and safety to the adults in your care. Your management and your organisation’s Designated Safeguarding Leads are there to support and help you.
