2. Adult Safeguarding for Community Organisations
This free full day session explores the roles and responsibilities of voluntary and community sector organisations in keeping adults safe from harm.
It is recommended that participants have attended our half day information workshop prior to attending this training, to gain awareness of the different types of adult abuse, the possible indicators and what individuals should do if they are concerned about an adult at risk.
If attending an information workshop is not feasible, we would recommend using the Safeguarding Adults Workbook or undertaking one of the free online awareness training modules (eg SCIE, LSAB) prior to attending this course.
Participants will get the chance to evaluate some adult safeguarding situations and develop their own approach in line with good practice. There will also be the chance to discuss the national and local context for safeguarding adults and find out more about what happens when concerns are reported.
By the end of session you will be able to:
· Recognise national and local context for safeguarding adults
· Evaluate safeguarding situations and consider what to do
· Respond appropriately to concerns or suspected/alleged abuse
· Identify your own organisation’s role and responsibilities in safeguarding adults.
· Review your own organisational procedures relating to safeguarding and improve practice.
Suitable for anyone in the voluntary or community sector who wants to understand more about their own organisation’s role and responsibilities relating to safeguarding adults. Particularly useful for co-ordinators/ managers/ supervisors/ management committee members or anyone working with adults at risk.
