Protecting Vulnerable Adults
It may be surprising to know that there are no published statistics on the number of adults
known to have experienced abuse or maltreatment by their carers, colleagues, friends
or family. However, it is commonly estimated to be more than 5%. By being informed in basic
vulnerable adult protection awareness you can play your part in preventing adult abuse.
NEW from EduSafe, ‘Protecting Vulnerable Adults’ was written in partnership with MENCAP, the Royal
College of Nursing, BUPA, SECAmb, St John Ambulance and UNITE the Union and has been
circulated and positively received by a number of leading figures within the vulnerable adult protection field. The programme is designed for anyone who comes into contact with vulnerable adults during work, voluntary or leisure activities. It breaks down the complexities of adult abuse, giving definitions of the different types of abuse, identifying who might abuse, signs and indicators of abuse and who
you should turn to should you suspect an adult is being maltreated.
The programme is delivered in four short modules with questionnaires to test understanding. On successful completion, participants are awarded a personalised certificate.
Module 1 – Understanding the basics
Learn about the definition of a vulnerable adult; the different types of abuse; who may be at risk and why and the effects abuse can have on an adult.
Module 2 – Recognising adult abuse
Examine who abuses and why; situations where abuse might occur; what to do if a vulnerable adult confides in you and how to report abuse.
Module 3 – Reporting abuse
Understand the importance of taking action; what action should you take and the importance of keeping records and what happens after you report your concerns.
Module 4 – Good practice guidelines
Look at legislation and vulnerable adults' rights; your organisation’s responsibilities; your personal code of conduct; how to deal with false allegations; the importance of constant vigilance and pathways for further learning.
