National Safeguarding Adults Week 2024
Safeguarding Adults Week is a time for organisations to come together to raise awareness of important safeguarding issues. This year, we're shining a light on the critical role of safeguarding and how we can collectively build safer cultures for adults at risk. To guide this conversation, we spoke with our safeguarding expert, who shared invaluable insights into spotting the signs of abuse, embedding safer practices, and fostering a culture of continuous learning.
Our SME has said: “The Safeguarding Adults eLearning is up to date, interactive, and enables learners to access high-quality training at any time. The case studies keep the training alive and real, while mini-assessments allow learners to check their understanding throughout.”
