Safeguarding Adults Workshop for Manager & Safeguarding Leads

About this programme

The aim of this 3-hour live online learning session is to provide an opportunity for safeguarding leads in partner organisations and services to explore their responsibilities in relation to safeguarding adults. The objective is to explore responsibilities within the context of the London multi agency policy & procedures (April 2019). This programme provides an opportunity to discuss operational and practice issues on the prevention and protection of adults from abuse. The programme explores how managers and safeguarding leads can contribute to safeguarding adults at risk within the wider safeguarding process e.g. planning meetings, providing information for safeguarding enquires, dealing with matters in relation to staff, attending safeguarding meetings and contributing to effective safeguarding plans.

The programme is developed and delivered within the framework of the Care Act 2014 and the Care & Support Statutory Guidance which sets out statutory duties and responsibilities including the duty to cooperate to protect adults from abuse and neglect.
