Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults

Overview

Safeguarding is our collective responsibility to protect the rights of every individual, especially children and vulnerable adults, from abuse, neglect or any other kind of harm. Numerous factors can put an individual at risk of potential abuse or harm, including age, physical and mental health and socioeconomic conditions. In this course, you'll discover the causes and signs of physical, emotional and other types of abuse that children and vulnerable adults may encounter.

Abuse, whether endured during childhood or adulthood, can have long-lasting effects on a person's mental and physical well-being. You’ll learn about the impacts of abuse on people’s lives and the responsibilities of caregivers while dealing and interacting with such individuals. Protecting children and vulnerable adults requires a multi-faceted collaborative approach from different agencies. You'll gain insights into the need to create a safe environment and the role of social services, healthcare professionals and educational institutions in providing care to vulnerable individuals.
