Safeguarding Adults: It’s everybody’s business

The protection of vulnerable adults against psychological, sexual, emotional, physical and financial abuse is powerfully explored in this unique interactive workshop.

Sessions are designed around carefully researched case studies exploring situations which have led to the abuse of adults. Drama and discussion are used to approach the issues faced by frontline staff and managers in an accessible way, inspiring and shaping new con-versations about how best to respond in situations where adults are at risk.
Drawing directly from National and Local Safeguarding Policies and Proce-dures for Adults, Dignity in Care guidance and the Serious Case Review into the death of Steven Hoskin, the three-hour workshop develops essential awareness of the individual roles and responsibilities of all staff and managers with regard to:
– Recognising Abuse
– Reporting Abuse
– Preventing Abuse

AFTA Thought is passionate about the live experience and our skilled actors and facilitators create scenarios which challenge perceptions and communicate critical messages with lasting impact.
By creating a safe, dynamic training environment, a range of perspectives and alternative outcomes can be explored. Their goal is to provide frontline staff and managers with the knowledge and confidence to ensure nothing is missed in their day to day exposure to potential abuse situations.
AFTA Thought delivers training for staff and managers working within the following areas:
– Adult Service Providers
– Care Homes
– Health
– Voluntary & Independent Sector
– Housing

This ‘recognition and referral’ course takes place on Tuesday 20 May.
