Aim: To enable participants to gain an understanding of adult abuse and neglect in both domestic and care settings; its nature, extent and impact, and possible causes. For participants to feel greater confidence to recognise signs of abuse and neglect and coercive and controlling behaviour and to raise concerns where needed. To have knowledge of staff responsibilities to raise concerns and an understanding of what happens once a concern is raised.

Key Learning Outcomes: To allow participants to explore their values in relation to adults with health and social care needs and their attitudes towards abuse.

To understand the importance of person centred, outcomes focused safeguarding work.

To ensure that staff involved in supporting people in the community and care settings across all sectors are aware of different types of financial abuse, including capacity; the groups most vulnerable to abuse; the range of people who might perpetrate such abuse; their responsibilities to act to prevent financial abuse and to report it where it is suspected.
