Overview

Safeguarding Adults is delivered over one three-hour session. The course aims to promote awareness of what constitutes abuse and neglect, the understanding of the different types of abuse and neglect, what makes individuals vulnerable, what disclosure and whistleblowing are, and detail legislation relevant to the Safeguarding of Adults. By the end of this session, candidates will be able to identify types of abuse, identify when abuse has happened/is happening, understand how to report and record issues that may be witnessed or disclosed, and understand how to help prevent abuse and neglect.

You will get automatic discounts off all our range of over 350 video online courses you choose to take in the future once you purchase and have access to this course. You will also receive a free training dashboard, downloads and access to the latest course material from ProTrainings.

Why are ProTrainings online courses different?

Unlike other e-learning courses, ProTrainings uses video training rather than reading PowerPoint text, which makes our courses more engaging. You do not have to complete the course in one sitting, stop and return whenever you want. You have 8 months to complete the course, and you can even view the course after you pass, giving you access to new videos and downloads. Your certificate can be printed immediately on completion along with your certified CPD and Evidenced-based learning statement to evidence your qualification.

Under every video, we have added text to support the video, and you also receive manuals and free downloads. You can opt for free weekly refresher videos to keep your skills fresh. You are assessed during the course and at the end, there is a final multiple-choice test. If you get a question wrong, you will be supported to ensure you understand every part. You can re-take the test without charge. This may be an online course, but you can still contact us by phone, online chat or email.

If you need classroom training or practical evaluations, these can be arranged nationally at your workplace.

ProTrainings are Endorsed by Skills for Care for both classroom and e-learning courses.

No more old-fashioned, cut-rate PowerPoint training — your health and safety are too important to cut corners.
