The module will prepare you to recognise signs of abuse of children, young people and adults and respond to this appropriately. It will familiarise you with the relevant legislation, policies and procedures in relation to domestic abuse and safeguarding children and adults.
The module will consider safeguarding adults, child protection and domestic abuse as inter-related rather than in isolation. The notion of safeguarding children will be examined within a context of need and risk.
The significance of capacity will be explored in relation to the abuse of adults. Anti-oppressive practice in relation to people who have been abused will be a theme which runs throughout the course.You will also explore issues of disclosure and confidentiality, the use of supervision, multi-disciplinary working and appropriate referral processes.
