This course will develop your knowledge of safeguarding adults, including the principles of capacity and consent, different types of abuse and neglect and how to respond to a disclosure. You will learn the six principles of safeguarding and ways to minimise the risk of abuse, as well as the importance of record keeping and whistleblowing.
The course outlines the principles of safer recruitment, together with the different types of Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks and how to obtain them. By the end of this training, you will also be aware of the relevant legislation and responsibilities of statutory bodies.
In this course we discuss Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS). DoLS was set to change to Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS) in 2022 to deliver improved outcomes for people. However, LPS has been delayed beyond this parliament, so currently, there is no date for implementation and DoLS remains in place.

Who should take this course?
This course is suitable for workers in any industry that interact with adults with safeguarding needs. Example job roles include those working in hospitals, GP surgeries, nursing homes, care homes, domiciliary care, religious organisations or community groups.
This course is written at an advanced level, meaning that you should already have some understanding of safeguarding. It is aimed at those who have specific responsibilities for safeguarding adults, such as managers.
If you are new to safeguarding training, or you are a worker without specific safeguarding responsibilities, then it’s recommended that you consider the Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults (SOVA) course which is less advanced and aimed at workers of all levels.
