Safeguarding Adults Online Training Course
Working closely with individuals, you are often the most likely person to be told something or notice something of concern. We help you to understand what harm and abuse might look like and how to challenge any concerns you have.
Never assume someone else has noticed or has raised a concern - it will make an "ass" out of "u" and "me". Ass can mean fool or donkey. This training course provides a refresher for people who have already done the Care Certificate.
Who should take this online Safeguarding training course?
