Why do I need to complete Safeguarding Adult training?
Duty of Care:
• All staff working with adults at risk in a paid, informal or voluntary
capacity have a duty to report suspicions or disclosures of abuse
and must take appropriate action.
• All staff have an individual responsibility to protect adults at risk
and themselves from immediate or continuing harm by reporting
their concerns: allowing full consideration of whether or not further
action is needed.
• A failure to do this is a failure in your duty of care and could be
perceived as negligent practice, which may, in some cases, lead
to disciplinary or other action.
