Description
Many staff in health and social care feel uncertain about their responsibilities for adults at risk. Concerns about under-training, unclear role boundaries, and not knowing when or how to raise a safeguarding alert can cause real anxiety. The Safeguarding Adults Level 1 course from High Skills Training helps learners understand foundational principles, types of abuse, and statutory duties while increasing confidence in recognising and responding to risks.
This online safeguarding adult training course is designed for frontline health and social care staff, including care home workers, HCAs, domiciliary carers, volunteers, and informal carers supporting vulnerable adults. It is also ideal for new starters, non-clinical staff with occasional contact, and council employees or teachers with safeguarding responsibilities, providing a foundational understanding of adult protection.
Learners will begin with an overview of adult safeguarding, learning key concepts, statutory responsibilities under the Care Act 2014, and the role of CQC standards in safeguarding practice. The course focuses on identifying harm and abuse, understanding vulnerabilities to harm, and recognising early warning signs. Practical guidance on individual dignity and respect ensures learners can provide person-centred support while upholding rights and promoting safety.
Additional modules cover seeking information and advice from appropriate channels, reducing risk, and strategies for safe practice. The course also explains multi-agency working, the importance of record-keeping, and responding to Section 42 enquiries under the Safeguarding Adults Board (SAB) framework. Learners gain clarity on foundational responsibilities and the difference between occasional versus regular contact with adults at risk.
With 24/7 learner support, a 14-day money-back guarantee, FREE Digital CPD Certificate, and fully online delivery, learners can study at their own pace. Additional resources and quizzes help assess understanding and track progress. Enrol in this Safeguarding Adults Level 1 course now and confidently support vulnerable adults while meeting compliance requirements.
