Adult Abuse Awareness (Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults)

Care Standards make adult abuse training mandatory for anyone working in a care environment. Added to which, the Topss guidelines have very clear expectations upon the integrity of adult abuse, including neglect, training and, quite rightly, Standards Inspectors are increasingly becoming more fastidious about this issue.
