About this course

Safeguarding Adults Training (Formerly known as Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults or SOVA training) is a training programme about protecting adults at risk and keeping them safe from harm. It’s about recognising the signs of abuse and knowing what to do. This course covers both levels 1 u0026amp; 2.rnrnSafeguarding is not something that is done in seclusion, and this training highlights the importance of all the relevant services working together in a ‘partnership of care’. It also highlights the importance of the individual – a ‘person-centred’ approach.rnrnThis safeguarding vulnerable adults training explains the seven major forms of abuse and gives step-by-step guidance to deal with abuse; including raising an alert, making a referral and what to include in a written report. It’s essential to act quickly if you think abuse may be happening – the quicker it’s spotted, the quicker something can be done about it.rnrnWorking with children?
