Program Description
This intermediate-level safeguarding program is designed for healthcare staff, social workers, care workers, doctors, nurses, and befrienders who interact with vulnerable adults. The primary objective is to advance safeguarding capabilities to meet mandatory compliance standards across multidisciplinary and multi-agency healthcare and social care environments.
The curriculum covers the identification of signs of harm, abuse, and neglect, alongside the legal frameworks governing mental capacity and human rights legislation. Participants examine protocols for multi-agency information sharing, effective client advocacy, statutory referral procedures to social care, and comprehensive documentation standards necessary for complex safeguarding incidents.
Instruction is delivered entirely online via self-paced interactive modules featuring WCAG 2.2 accessibility, real-world scenarios, animations, and knowledge checks. Aligned with the Skills for Health Core Skills Training Framework and certified for Continuing Professional Development, the course includes pre-assessment options and an end-of-module assessment granting an instant downloadable certificate.
