Overview
The Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults course will teach you how to protect and help any individual in your care who could be susceptible to abuse. You’ll learn legal rights and abilities that you possess to ensure that defenseless members of society are not exploited.
This comprehensive safeguarding course explains how to communicate with individuals at risk and safely report your concerns to appropriate authorities. The full legalities and your moral responsibilities will be covered in detail and could help identify those who may need support that they have not yet received.
By enrolling in this online course, you will become confident and skilled enough to support and guide those adults who may suffer from neglect or abuse, towards a better future. This will especially be of use to those working in the social care sector and aspire to customer-facing roles.
