Dignity and Safeguarding
Description
This qualification is designed primarily for individuals working with, or intending to work with, vulnerable adults in the health and social care sector.
Please note whilst the course is free, there is a £50 withdrawal fee if you leave or are withdrawn from the course without completion.
This qualification aims to give learners knowledge and understanding of the key principles of dignity, duty of care, and safeguarding as applied to adult health and social care.
Learners will investigate these principles and how they are applied in everyday work contexts. They’ll also have an opportunity to examine the dilemmas that can arise and the consequences when these principles aren’t upheld.
