Safeguarding Adults Level 1 Training

Staff may not carry caseloads but still come into contact with adults. This could be over the telephone or face to face. All staff that come into contact with adults need to have an awareness of safeguarding. This involves being able to recognise the signs and symptoms of abuse and know how to manage and record a disclosure of abuse.

This course is a basic awareness level 1 course. It is for staff whose work brings them into contact with adults. If staff work with adults on a regular basis or carry a case load, they need to complete the Level 2 course.

This Safeguarding adults’ level 1 course focuses on:

• What constitutes an ‘adult at risk’ and safeguarding responsibilities
• Terminology, what is adult abuse, types of abuse and signs and symptoms of abuse.
• How a disclosure might happen, opening up, reluctance to talk, reacting appropriately, disclosures, supporting you and procedures.
