Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults

Taking care of another person can be incredibly rewarding, but it is a role that also comes with responsibility – particularly when caring for someone who is vulnerable. Everyone is entitled to live free from harm, and it’s important that those less able to protect themselves from neglect, harm and abuse can still feel safe and protected.

This course is for organisations and individuals that deal with vulnerable adults, including those in the health and community care sector, local government and volunteer organisations. It is to build understanding about what it means to be a vulnerable adult and responsibilities in safeguarding vulnerable adults from abuse and neglect.
