  • Assessment

Safeguarding adults means protecting a person’s right to live in safety, free from abuse and neglect. It involves protecting vulnerable adults from abuse or neglect and putting plans in place to prevent harm in the future. It also involves helping people to live as well as possible and to remain healthy and have their independence maintained. This module looks at how to recognise the signs of abuse, how you can help reduce the likelihood of abuse occurring and how to respond to suspected or disclosed abuse. It examines national policies, local systems and employer procedures. A multiple choice knowledge check is included.
