Safeguarding Adults - Course

Every human has a right to be treated in a fair and just manner, with respect. It is not a complicated or too challenging idea, but it is one that people should understand and agree with, regardless of who they are. But unfortunately, it often feels like this fundamental right is being taken away from people in today's world.

The Safeguarding Adults course is a gateway to working with the vulnerable adults in our community, responsible for welfare and well-being. It is designed to educate those working with vulnerable adults and those considering moving into healthcare.

The idea of being treated respectfully by others regarding laws or day-to-day interactions with businesses and strangers seems lost in many situations. It's a topic that deserves much more attention than it has been getting.

Participants should understand the law relating to safeguarding or one day hope to work in care or social work. In addition, it requires a commitment to putting all practice controls and safeguards in place with adults throughout their professional life.

Safeguarding Adults course has been created explicitly because of the increased awareness of safeguarding amongst the public, especially among vulnerable adults in our communities. Vulnerable adults are defined as people who are or may be at risk of abuse, neglect, or maltreatment. It often includes older people, some people with disabilities, and people more prone to memory loss.

The learner will understand what safeguarding adults is about, safeguarding processes, and developing a safeguarding plan. Those who work in domiciliary care, the NHS, community centres, prisons, or with a family member at home set out the roles and responsibilities everyone must undertake to protect an adult's right to live safely, free from abuse and neglect.

Organisations must take appropriate and proportional measures necessary to protect adults in care while ensuring they are supported and empowered to control how they want to live. This course can bring you one step closer to being able to do so.

It means that whatever the circumstance, you and the organisation you work for must take appropriate and proportional measures necessary to protect adults in your care while ensuring they are supported and empowered to control how they want to live their lives.

During this course, you will hear many facts, figures, and details surrounding the risk to adults needing care and support, the types of abuse suffered. Key safeguarding legislation was put in place to minimise the abuse of adults with care and support needs.

By the end of this course, you will better understand safeguarding principles and apply them to your role.

Chief among these is the right to be healthy, happy and treated well, regardless of race, age, gender or location.
