Safeguarding level 3: Adult & Children

Description

Course Description

This interactive and engaging Level 3 Safeguarding course is designed for healthcare professionals and support staff working with both adults at risk and children. The course goes beyond “tick-box” training and focuses on recognising concerns, understanding responsibilities, responding appropriately to disclosures, and knowing when and how to escalate concerns safely and professionally.

Delivered face-to-face by experienced healthcare professionals currently working within the sector, the training combines real-life scenarios, group discussions, case studies, and practical safeguarding conversations to help learners feel confident applying safeguarding principles in everyday practice.

The course is aligned with current UK legislation, best practice guidance, and safeguarding frameworks including:

· Working Together to Safeguard Children 2023

· Care Act 2014

· Domestic Abuse Act 2021

· CQC Fundamental Standards

· Mental Capacity Act & DoLS principles

· Prevent and Modern Slavery guidance

A short end-of-course knowledge check is included — which we like to call “Celebrating Your Knowledge” — designed to reinforce learning in a supportive and positive way.
