This is a FREE one day certificated course.

This training will raise awareness of risk of harm in adulthood, provide a background into legal responsibilities in relation to adults at risk and examine the procedures that need to be in place for the recruitment, selection and management of staff and volunteers.  It will assist voluntary, community and independent sector organisations working with adults at risk to achieve the minimum standards of best practice as outlined in the publication ‘Keeping Adults Safe –  A Shared Responsibility’.

This is a one day certificated course for those individuals who manage or supervise staff and volunteers working with adults at risk and those with governance responsibilities.

  • legal implications and responsibilities in adult safeguarding;
  • procedures for recruitment, selection and management of staff/volunteers; and
