Safeguarding Children and Adults: Level 3

Sharon Nugent leads this Denplan Training Academy course for people responsible for safeguarding in a dental practice, or preparing to take on that role. Two online sessions develop the practical processes needed to recognise concerns, document them and arrange appropriate escalation.

Programme

• Understand the purpose of serious case reviews and the responsibilities of a safeguarding lead.
• Refer concerns to local services and work with other agencies.
• Keep accurate, timely and factual records.
• Review mental-capacity considerations, practice policies and oversight of compliance.
• Recognise when to seek advice and support children or adults at risk.
