Program Description
The Online Self-Neglect Training Course equips professionals working with vulnerable adults with the vital competencies required to identify and address complex cases of self-neglect. Designed for social workers, healthcare workers, carers, educators, and community officers, the program examines the multi-dimensional factors that influence an individual's capacity to maintain personal care and living standards.
Structured across two focused modules, the curriculum investigates the underlying causes of self-neglect, including intersections with mental health conditions, cognitive impairment, and trauma. Participants examine the delicate balance between professional duty of care obligations and an individual's statutory right to autonomy and privacy, acquiring clear guidance on how to make safe and defensible decisions.
Delivered entirely online through interactive self-paced study, the training incorporates realistic case studies and knowledge checks to test practical judgment. Upon successful completion, learners immediately receive an accredited CPD certificate confirming their professional development in adult safeguarding.
