About the course

This is a joint training initiative with the London Borough of Waltham Forest, London Borough of Redbridge, the North East London Mental Health Trust and the Redbridge Primary Care Trust.

It is a half-day course, which will give staff an understanding of:

  • The issues of abuse and potential abuse of vulnerable adults
  • Prevention of abuse of vulnerable adults
  • Staff responsibilities and relevant legislation

There will be a workbook that gives further information and practical exercises for staff to complete back in the work place*. This will be able to be linked directly to the NVQ in Care, Skills for Care Induction and Foundation, and LDAF.

Please ensure that you fully complete the correct nomination form.

Please note: This course has been designed to deliver a high level of content in each 3-hour session. Registration for the morning course is at 09.15am (10.15am LBR) and for the afternoon course at 1.15pm (2.15pm LBR). Each course will start promptly at 09:30am (10:30am LBR) for the morning course and 1:30pm (2:30pm LBR). Any delegate who arrives after the start time will be refused admission to the course. This is to minimise disruption and ensures a good learning environment for both the delegates and the trainer.
