Anyone can be a victim of abuse and safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility.
Our Awareness of Safeguarding Adults course explores what adult abuse is, how to recognise the signs of abuse, and the procedures to follow to report suspected abuse of adults with extra care and support needs. It is particularly useful for people whose role involves meeting “at risk” adults, such as jobs dealing with the public, but it is important for all workers to be aware of this topic.
This course is suitable as an overview of the topic of adult safeguarding. For a more in-depth treatment of the subject, see our Introduction to Safeguarding Adults course (which includes our Awareness course as its first module).
Our Awareness of Safeguarding Adults online course is broken down into two modules.

When a vulnerable adult is at risk of abuse or neglect, it’s everyone’s responsibility to protect them. This module covers the basics of safeguarding adults in the form of 6 key principles. It also explores the associated responsibilities, along with the legal frameworks for safeguarding and reporting potential abuse of adults.
There are many different types of abuse. There are also signs a person is being neglected or abused that any of us can learn to recognise. This module explores the increased risk factors that may be present and presents two case reviews where there were major systemic failures to safeguard adults, with serious consequences.
Safeguarding is an important duty for everybody in society. When we know or suspect that a vulnerable adult is suffering abuse, it is vital that we report our concerns to the appropriate authorities. The course provides guidance in reporting suspected cases of adult abuse to make sure the victim is helped and the abuse is stopped.
Learners are assessed via multiple-choice questions about safeguarding adults.

Included Features
Anyone can be a victim of abuse. Sadly, it happens to people from all walks of life all over the world.
Safeguarding means protecting a person’s right to live in safety, free from harm, neglect or abuse. Safeguarding practices exist to protect vulnerable adults and children in society.
Training in safeguarding protects both the adults at risk and the employee who notices the signs, as they will be equipped to know what to do in those circumstances.
An adult safeguarding concern is any suspicion of abuse or neglect concerning a person over 18, particularly one who falls into a vulnerable category. Someone does not have to be certain abuse is taking place to raise a concern. Once a concern has been raised, it needs to be reported to the appropriate authorities.
A vulnerable adult is a person over 18 who is particularly at risk of neglect or abuse. This could be due to age, physical or mental illness, learning disabilities or many other factors affecting a person’s ability to protect themselves. Anyone can be the victim of abuse but vulnerable adults require special care to stay safe.
Safeguarding issues arise when a person is at risk of neglect or abuse. When somebody suspects a person is being abused or neglected, they need to know the correct way to report their concerns to the appropriate authorities, and when to alert their line manager. Safeguarding awareness training is an important part of this.
