Safeguarding Adults Training for charities and groups – May 2024
Third Floor, Reading Central Library, Abbey Square, Reading, RG1 3BQ
Does your charity offer services or activities to adults in Reading? If so, come along to this free training.
All charities, voluntary and community groups have a duty to keep their service users safe from harm. As most charities and community groups run through the hard work and dedication of volunteers, it is important that volunteers as well as paid staff receive basic safeguarding training.
This training will cover:
- Basic information on safeguarding adults
- Current guidance for safeguarding adults under the Care Act 2014
- Types of abuse and how to recognise abuse: the signs and symptoms
- What to do when you recognise abuse: the referral process
- The importance of a multi-agency approach to safeguarding adults
- Safe practice
Who should attend? Anyone who works or volunteers with a charity, community or voluntary sector group in Reading, whose work or volunteering brings them into contact with children or young people in whatever circumstances, whether they are new to the role or require a refresher.
