MVDA in partnership with Middlesbrough Adult Social Care Services is holding an ‘Introduction to Adult Safeguarding’ training course which is open to all local voluntary and community sector (VCS) staff and volunteers.
The course will help you to:
- recognise when an adult is vulnerable
- recognise when they may be being abused or neglected; and
- understand what to do if you’re concerned about a vulnerable adult.
This training is the same which has been delivered to staff in Adult Social Care and aims to better equip the VCS with the ability to respond when a vulnerable adult is identified, or when alerted to an abusive situation.
We all come into contact with members of the public either through our work roles or in our own time. An awareness of adult safeguarding means we are better equipped to spot and protect the vulnerable members of our communities who need our help and protection.
Adult safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility, and we would encourage you, your staff and volunteers to sign up to this very important free training.
To book your place please email general@mvdauk.org.uk
You will be sent a confirmation email when signing up and a Microsoft Teams link will be sent to you closer to the date of the training.
