This Safeguarding Adults online training course (Level 2) explains what is meant by safeguarding adults and how you can contribute to this important work.
Many adults are at risk of harm. These are people who need care and support but are experiencing, or at risk of, abuse and are unable to protect themselves.
Health and social care organisations have particular responsibilities, but everyone involved with an adult at risk of harm has a part to play. Safeguarding requires people and organisations to work together to prevent abuse and neglect. Everyone should be committed to a policy of zero tolerance towards the abuse of adults at risk.
What is adult safeguarding?
Safeguarding means protecting an adult’s right to live in safety, free from abuse and neglect.
An adult at risk is anyone over the age of 18 who receives, or is in need of, community care services due to mental health issues, disability, age or illness. These vulnerable adults may be unable to protect themself from harm and exploitation.
Why is Safeguarding Adults training important?
Safeguarding training will help you to understand which people are at risk of harm. It will help you recognise important signs of neglect and abuse.
For employers, this training ensures that all employees are up to date with Regulation 13: Safeguarding service users from abuse and improper treatment of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.
