This episode will be briefly covering:

1. Terminology
2. Types of Abuse
3. Recognising Indicators
4. Myth Busters
5. Reporting Concerns

Course Overview

Everyone should have a basic awareness of safeguarding.

It is vital that professionals, other staff and members of the public are vigilant on behalf of those unable to protect themselves.

Our course (previously known as level 1) is a basic awareness course suitable for all and concentrates specifically on teaching participants about:

• the types of and signs of abuse and neglect;
• how to recognise indicators of abuse and supporting people to keep safe; and
• the importance of sharing information with the relevant people/ organisations.

To provide context for those listening in the future, as this episode is published we are currently around three weeks into the COVID-19 UK lockdown. Schools are closed, many employees are working from home and hospitals are at capacity.

While this podcast has been in the plans for a while, COVID-19 has changed the timetable of its delivery. Instead of starting by delving into the Training 4 Influence methodology, we realise it is more important to start this podcast with a series delivering bitesize learning, derived from our induction courses, for those frontline professionals needing further support during these times.

Frontline professionals regarded as 'critical workers' are currently working under unprecedented circumstances - with staff levels falling and government regulations changing daily, additional support is vital as many new, inexperienced or recently retired people are being asked to take on key roles.
