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.
Our online Safeguarding Adults training course takes approximately 2 hours to complete.
