What is safeguarding?

Safeguarding means protecting people’s health, well-being and human rights, and enabling them to live free from harm, abuse and neglect. It’s fundamental to high-quality health and social care.

What does safeguarding mean for people who use care services?

Safeguarding children and promoting their welfare includes:

• Protecting them from maltreatment or things that are bad for their health or development.
• Make sure they grow up in circumstances that allow safe and effective care.

Safeguarding adults includes:

• Protecting their rights to live in safety, free from abuse and neglect.
• People and organisations work together to prevent the risk of abuse or neglect, and to stop them from happening.
• Making sure people’s well-being is promoted, taking their views, wishes, feelings and beliefs into account.

What are the Skills for Health’s UK “Core Skills Training Framework” (CSTF)?

There is increasing recognition that there are wide variations in the quality and consistency of healthcare training provided across the UK. To minimise these challenges, Octrac Consulting works with various UK health and social care organisations to develop statutory and mandatory training courses in line with Skills for Health’s UK Core Skills Training Framework (CSTF). This includes mandatory training and other awareness courses for health and social care workers.

This online safeguarding adults at risk course was developed in line with the CSTF learning outcomes.
