Why take this course?
Failing to respond effectively to safeguarding concerns can lead to serious harm for adults at risk and create an unsafe, high-pressure environment for employees. As someone in an advanced safeguarding role, you have a core responsibility to protect adults at risk from abuse and neglect, while fostering a culture where everyone feels confident and supported to speak up.
This Level 3 Safeguarding Adults Training course explains your responsibilities in confidently applying safeguarding practices within your organisation. It will teach you how to apply key legislation, identify signs of abuse and neglect, conduct safeguarding enquiries and manage allegations. By completing this training, you’ll understand best practice for robust policies and procedures, how to provide guidance to your team and navigate the complexities of your role to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the adults at risk you support.
Module 1: The Foundations of Safeguarding
This module covers the core principles and legislation that underpin effective safeguarding, including the Care Act 2014 and the Mental Capacity Act 2005. It explains how to identify an adult at risk and the importance of taking a person-centred, trauma-informed approach to empower the adults at risk you support.
Module 2: Understanding Abuse and Neglect
This module focuses on your responsibility in recognising the signs of abuse and neglect. It details the ten categories of abuse and neglect outlined in the Care Act, as well as exploitation and radicalisation, and explains their potential long-term consequences.
Module 3: Responding to Concerns and Disclosures
This module provides practical guidance on responding appropriately when a safeguarding concern is raised. It covers how to handle disclosures, navigate the complexities of consent and information sharing, create factual and objective records and work effectively with multi-agency partners.
Module 4: Next Steps and Effective Leadership
This module focuses on your advanced role in embedding a positive safeguarding culture. It addresses allegations against staff members and outlines the process for escalating concerns when necessary. It also explores implementing robust policies, safer recruitment practices and effective training.
The online assessment is taken on completion of the training material. You will be asked 18 multiple choice questions with a pass mark of 80%. The answers are marked automatically so you will instantly know whether you have passed. If you don’t pass the assessment, you can review the course material and take the assessment again as many times as necessary at no extra charge.
This course is designed for employees who require an enhanced level of understanding of safeguarding, in line with their roles and responsibilities. This includes, but is not limited to, those in Safeguarding Lead positions or managers who have the chief responsibility for safeguarding.
This training is relevant for those who work in environments, including healthcare, care and residential homes, nursing homes, charities, adult education, religious organisations and activity group settings.
