Safeguarding training for the statutory, voluntary and independent sectors
Anyone who works with adults in the community, either as a paid worker or volunteer, has a role to play in safeguarding adults and promoting their health and wellbeing. They need to have the right skills and knowledge to work with people to help and protect them. A range of training courses have been developed to suit all levels of staff and volunteers from the statutory, voluntary and independent sectors.
