Description

Abuse can manifest in various forms and have devastating, long-lasting effects on the health and wellbeing of the individual. Begin your journey in safeguarding and protecting adults from abuse with Level 1, where you'll learn to recognise potential indicators of abuse, harm, and neglect.

Gain confidence in taking appropriate actions if abuse is suspected whilst understanding the legislative framework supporting safeguarding practices. This module will lay the foundation and equip you with essential knowledge and skills to act appropriately and protect adults from harm.

Statutory & Mandatory Training: Safeguarding Adults Level 1 Features

Our new Safeguarding Adults Level 1 has been designed to work on all devices including mobiles, laptops, tablets and desktops giving you the flexibility to complete the training at a time and in a location suitable for you. With healthcare staff often expected to complete training on an annual basis there will be topics you will be more familiar with than others.

Our self assessment tool, which is at the start of each course, will allow you to test your knowledge to see if you would like to complete the training or progress straight to the end of course test. At the end of this safeguarding adults training, you will need to complete a test that consists of multiple choice questions. Learners are required to achieve an 80% pass mark, and - if necessary - may attempt the test six times at no extra cost.

If learners do not achieve the pass mark, further attempts may be given by contacting our support team. The online safeguarding adults level 1 training is fully interactive and is packed with various multimedia forms including video, animation and custom graphics to give you the best learning experience. Each element of the training is WCAG 2.2 accessible and includes scenarios, contextualised activities, reflective activities, knowledge checks, bite sized lessons and so much more.

Course was very in depth and brought out all salient points without it being too difficult to take in. I know this was an online course but it would be good if you could buy printed book detailing all that is on the course. This would make for easy reference when needed.
