    Dealing with Abuse

Section 1

Adult safeguarding is about maintaining or improving a person’s wellbeing, promoting their independence and protecting them from abuse, harm and neglect. In this section, we look at who might be at risk, what the law says and at the principles, policies and procedures for safeguarding.

Section 2

Abuse can happen anywhere and can be carried out by anyone – including family, friends, neighbours, carers and volunteers. It can be a single act or repeated acts of abuse. In this section, we will be looking at the different types of abuse and various ways of recognising that they may be happening.

Section 3

When dealing with abuse, harm or neglect and reporting it, it's important to act quickly. You need to know what to do. In this final section, users will learn about responding to a disclosure, recording, reporting, emergency situations and the importance of confidentiality.

About this course

Safeguarding Adults Training (Formerly known as Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults) is a training programme about protecting adults at risk and keeping them safe from harm. It’s about recognising the signs of abuse and knowing what to do. This course covers both levels 1 & 2.

Safeguarding is not something that is done in seclusion, and this training highlights the importance of all the relevant services working together in a ‘partnership of care’. It also highlights the importance of the individual – a ‘person-centred’ approach.

This training explains the seven major forms of abuse and gives step-by-step guidance to deal with abuse; including raising an alert, making a referral and what to include in a written report. It’s essential to act quickly if you think abuse may be happening – the quicker it’s spotted, the quicker something can be done about it.
