This online course will explore the roles and responsibilities of managers in terms of safeguarding adults at risk.
PLEASE NOTE: This course is now at full capacity! We’re running similar courses in November 2020 and April 2021.
We’ll look at the key changes within safeguarding as part of the Care Act. You’ll be encouraged to identify where the challenges are, and to seek solutions towards implementation in practice.
We’ll cover best practice, the expectations of regulators, and the lessons we learned from our safeguarding adults reviews.
