Description

Anyone who works with vulnerable adults will have safeguarding responsibilities, but these will vary depending on your role. Our level 3 course is designed for managers or supervisors, or any designated safeguarding lead.

Our course covers all the topics and information you need to successfully carry out your role including the latest legislation and guidance, signs and symptoms of abuse, the types of abuse, and how to respond to disclosures of abuse, including reporting and recording.

We also offer Safeguarding Adults Training at Level 1 and Level 2

Unsure if you require Level 1, 2 or 3 Safeguarding Adults training? Check out our short guide to find the course that best matches your needs and requirements here.

Why take this course?

Anyone who works with vulnerable adults has a duty to safeguard. In order to understand and fulfil your duties, you must undertake safeguarding training. But in order to keep up to date with the ever-changing topic, training must be regularly refreshed, which is why refresher courses are so important.

Companies will decide how often training needs to be refreshed, though every two years is a common recommendation; this will depend on the roles and responsibilities though.

Course Overview

Booking was easy the website had all the information I needed so once I booked the package I then received notification to allocate the spaces, which again was really simple to do, our staff will be doing this training on the January training day, but if they wanted to do it before they now could so for staff who work part time it's perfect.
