It remains a dreadful fact that abuse of vulnerable adults happens within our society. Staff who work within health and social care settings require high quality training to ensure that they fully understand how to properly look after those in their care. This course covers all core aspects of vulnerable adult protection to help staff recognise potential signs of abuse and understand how to take action.
