Advanced Best Practice in Safeguarding Enquiries - Wales

Course Outline:

Read The Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014 placed adult safeguarding on a statutory footing. Local Authorities have a duty to make or cause to make an enquiry if a case meets the criteria in Section 126. The Act and accompanying statutory guidance marks a shift away from process driven safeguarding to Making Safeguarding Personal.
This highly practical and interactive two-day course is designed for professionals who are required to conduct the enquiry under Section 126 of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act 2014.
The course follows a ‘live’ fictional safeguarding concern which is delivered through a rolling case study throughout the two days.
