This module explores the main principles to consider when safeguarding adults. It covers the 6 key principles of adult safeguarding; Empowerment, Prevention, Proportionality, Protection, Partnership, Accountability. The main legal framework for adult safeguarding is the Care Act 2014 and, in this topic, learners will explore its implications and the different authorities affected.
In this module, learners discover when and how to report abuse. It is important to report suspected abuse in the right way so it can be prevented from happening again. Using a case study about an adult possibly being abused, learners are challenged to think about how they would respond if they had their suspicions about the treatment of a possibly vulnerable adult.
This module covers the role of local authorities in safeguarding adults, including using Safeguarding Adults Boards (SABs) to co-ordinate local safeguarding efforts. Learners discover how and why local authorities carry out reviews (Safeguarding Adults Reviews (SARs) in England) and how these can be beneficial in highlighting any mistakes that have been made.
Learners are assessed via multiple-choice questions about safeguarding adults.

Every man, woman, and child has the basic human right to live a life without abuse. Sadly, this is a right that millions of people all over the world are forced to live without.
Safeguarding is the act of protecting a person’s right to live in safety – free from abuse, harm and neglect. Safeguarding practices apply to both vulnerable adults and children.
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.
A Safeguarding Adults Review (SAR) is needed when an adult has suffered serious abuse or neglect and there were steps that could have been taken to avoid this. Their purpose is to make sure lessons are learnt so there is no repeat of the serious incident in the future. They play an important role in improving adult safeguarding practices.
Anybody can raise a safeguarding concern for a vulnerable adult. This includes people working with them, friends and family, and members of the public. Safeguarding the vulnerable is a collective responsibility. It is important the concern is raised with the correct authorities so it can be dealt with appropriately.
All of us play a role in safeguarding vulnerable adults. For people unable or unwilling to speak up about their abuse or neglect, it is vital there are others in contact with them who raise the alarm. Once they have flagged up a concern, the appropriate agencies are responsible for following it through and protecting the vulnerable adult.
