Safeguarding for Managers

Duration

1 day

Course Overview



The Care Act 2014 put adult safeguarding on a legal footing and extended the scope of adult safeguarding. The London Multi-Agency Safeguarding Policies and Procedures (the Pan London Guidelines) were updated in December 2015 to take account of legislative changes.

This course is designed to give Managers/Seniors an understanding of the requirements of the Care Act, with reference to the Care and Support Statutory Guidance Notes (as amended in March 2016) and of their responsibilities. For some Managers/Seniors this course may be a refresher and newly appointed Managers/Seniors will find it of particular use as they transition into new responsibilities and find themselves having to consider 'the bigger safeguarding picture'.

The day is designed to be highly practical, offering Managers/Seniors an opportunity to reflect upon what is working well within their services and what they can do to make further improvements. Through this process the course aims to improve knowledge and confidence.
