Safeguarding for Adults (UK)
Train your employees on adult safeguarding, defining at-risk individuals, describing abuse signs, and taking action if danger is suspected.
Course overview
Adult life is fast-paced, right? Your employees don’t often get the chance to stop and think about how amazing being a human is. Like the way they grow, learn, communicate, and feel emotions. And every human has rights, from the moment they’re born, until the end of their life. But sadly, vulnerable adults aren’t always allowed their basic human rights, and they can be subjected to abuse.
The UK has legislation designed to safeguard vulnerable adults, for example, someone suffering from dementia, or mental health issues. To comply, anyone working with or looking after adults with vulnerabilities must take steps to protect them from harm.
What’s covered
- Definition of adult safeguarding and who is at higher risk
- Common types of adult abuse, and signs to look out for
- The appropriate action if you believe an adult is in harm or at risk of it
