Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults

Description:

We all have a responsibility to look out for one another and particularly for those people who may not be able to look out for themselves.

Vulnerable adults exist in all areas of society and it’s important that we understand what we can do to promote their welfare and safeguard them from potential harm. This Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults course aims to help increase your knowledge of the subject so that you feel confident in recognising abuse, reporting your concerns and promoting a good quality of life for all the vulnerable adults you work with.  If you are required to hold a formal qualification please see our Safeguarding and Protecting Children, Young people and Adults course
