Safeguarding Adult training resources
There are two national competency frameworks available to support organisations to determine minimum training requirements with respect to Safeguarding Adults. These are guides and do not replace contractual arrangements between commissioners and providers. It is acknowledged that some employers may require certain staff groups to be trained to a higher level.
