We’ll explore best practice, the law, how to respond to and report safeguarding adult concerns, creating a safer culture and an inclusive and accessible environment, and the importance of effective safeguarding policies and procedures.

We only have space for 15 delegates per course, so book now to avoid disappointment!

Who is this course for?

This course is for anyone responsible for receiving concerns and making safeguarding adult referrals in NGBs, Active Partnerships and unregulated/unfunded sport and activity organisations in England. As this is a Level 3 training course, the expectation is that participants will have covered the basics of safeguarding adults (either in Basic Awareness Training or Training at Levels 1 or 2), and therefore have a general understanding of the fundamental concepts of safeguarding adults before attending this training.
