Description

The course unveils intricate aspects of safeguarding adults, intertwining it with critical elements of dermatology and skin anatomy. The blend ensures learners can address safety concerns while being attuned to skin health and related conditions.

Not all abuse can be seen because not all mistreatment is physical and this course helps you understand when and how to make assumptions regarding abuse. We trace the roots of abuse and neglect, which can appear in many forms, and describe the types and possible indicators of various types of abuse: physical, emotional, sexual, domestic, discriminatory and financial. Older people suffering abuse can be afraid and embarrassed to talk about it so we show you how to spot signs of abuse in older people. We discuss the importance of communication in care settings in detail. Communication is defined by more than the words we use and we cover different channels, including verbal, non-verbal and written communication. The course also demonstrates how listening and paying attention plays an important role in handling complaints from either the client or their family.
