Professional CPD-Accredited Safeguarding Adults Training
Course Description
Ensuring the safety and well-being of vulnerable individuals is a fundamental legal and ethical responsibility for professionals across the health, social care, and voluntary sectors. Our Safeguarding Adults online e-learning course is a fully CPD-accredited programme designed to meet the statutory requirements of the Care Act 2014. This 90-minute course provides essential training for staff and volunteers UK-wide, ensuring they are equipped to identify signs of harm and understand the formal reporting procedures necessary to protect adults at risk.
Factual Compliance and the Care Act 2014 Framework
This entity-rich training module is built upon the legal frameworks governing adult protection in the United Kingdom, specifically referencing the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and the Human Rights Act 1998. The curriculum focuses on the "Six Principles of Safeguarding" as defined by the Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE): Empowerment, Prevention, Proportionality, Protection, Partnership, and Accountability. By engaging with these core concepts, learners gain a robust understanding of different categories of abuse—including physical, emotional, financial, and neglect—and the professional "Duty of Candour" required when concerns arise.
As an accessible online e-learning course, this training can be completed from any location, offering a flexible solution for busy professionals to maintain their CPD certification. The course content is regularly updated to reflect the latest government guidance and Care Quality Commission (CQC) standards. Upon completion, learners receive a downloadable certificate, which is typically recommended for renewal every two years to ensure continued compliance with national safeguarding protocols.
