Course overview
Adult life is fast-paced, right? Your employees don’t often get the chance to stop and think about how amazing being a human is. Like the way they grow, learn, communicate, and feel emotions. And every human has rights, from the moment they’re born, until the end of their life. But sadly, vulnerable adults aren’t always allowed their basic human rights, and they can be subjected to abuse.
The UK has legislation designed to safeguard vulnerable adults, for example, someone suffering from dementia, or mental health issues. To comply, anyone working with or looking after adults with vulnerabilities must take steps to protect them from harm.
