Safeguarding adults at risk (Level 1) training

The Link Visiting Scheme expects all volunteers to know their duty of care regarding safeguarding adults at risk. It is important that we all work together to protect every adult’s right to live in safety, free from the risk or experience of abuse or neglect.

Our online safeguarding training is suitable for all new Link volunteers, and all experienced Link volunteers who need to refresh their knowledge. This session should be taken every 3 years as a refresher course.

This training consists of watching 1 prerecorded webinar (34 minutes) and attending 1 live Zoom session (1hour). After watching the webinar (part 1 of this training, more info here) you will attend a Zoom discussion group with other Link volunteers. There will be opportunities to ask questions, talk about what we have learnt and go through relevant scenarios to further our understanding. To find out the next dates for the zoom session and book your place, please email Jo Mason at jo@linkvisiting.org

Safeguarding training for Link volunteers is mandatory.
