Safeguarding Adults – aims/objectives

The key aim of the Safeguarding Adults course is to enable delegates to confidently explain what adult safeguarding involves and equip them with a clear understanding of their role in the process. They will be able to identify the signs of abuse and neglect, recognise an adult ‘at risk’ and be able to describe the best way to respond to and report concerns, helping to protect an adult’s right to live in safety.

Once they have completed their safeguarding training, delegates are required to take a final examination comprising 10 default questions, which requires a minimum pass rate of 70%.

Please note that administrators for the Safeguarding Adults course have the ability to change the pass mark, implement a random test question feature and specify that more than 10 questions must be answered.
