The purpose of the session was to raise awareness about safeguarding vulnerable adults, clarify legal responsibilities, and outline measures for their protection from harm.
The session covered the following:
– The term safeguarding and its meaning
– Key legislation surrounding safeguarding and their legal responsibilities
– The role of the designated safeguarding lead
– How to identify signs of abuse and the risk factors involved
– How to determine capacity
– How to respond to any concerns about a vulnerable adult
– How to act if information is disclosed to them by a vulnerable adult
– Safeguarding recruitment procedures
– How to report their concerns and the importance of doing so
– How to record their concerns
– Social care roles in the safeguarding process
Feedback from the tutors included: “This course was extremely helpful in understanding ways to identify and provide the knowledge needed to protect a learner and handle situations correctly using the appropriate procedures. The course content and information were highly beneficial.”
“As I have been participating in similar training, I believe it is crucial for the staff to be updated with the latest information. Lan was fantastic! Especially with full answers and questions.”
“As a teacher, I am in a position of trust. I have learned how to recognise, prevent, and appropriately respond to signs of abuse, neglect, or exploitation. I know how to report any concerns to the lead safeguarding officer, Jenny Holloway. The speaker provided relevant examples and supported and encouraged contributions from the panels. After the training, I grew more confident in dealing with any safeguarding concerns and navigating complex situations while upholding legal and ethical standards.”
