Safeguarding Adults for Staff Working in HousingHousing staff are well paced to identify people at risk of abuse. Staff need to work with other agencies to resolve issues and this can be difficult due to complex networks and working with a number of local authorities. Housing staff therefore need to have knowledge and confidence to raise safeguarding cases effectively. They need to be able to identify people at risk of abuse and self-neglect and understand safeguarding principles and responsibilities. This training provides information on identifying risk and vulnerability and the relevant legislation of the Mental Capacity Act. This training works well in a multi-agency group where local procedures and clarification of issues can be resolved in a small group setting.
