This e-learning module was developed by Social Care Wales in line with the Wales Safeguarding Procedures.

It is mainly aimed at those working in the public and voluntary sectors. This includes those looking to work in social care, early years and childcare, as well as in health, the emergency services and local councils.

Completing the new bilingual training module will enable everyone to:

• explain the term 'safeguarding'
• recognise abuse or the risk of abuse, harm, or neglect
• know what actions to take if they witness or suspect abuse, harm, or neglect, or if someone tells them they are being abused
• demonstrate a basic understanding of the laws concerning safeguarding
• recognise that they have a duty to report abuse, harm, or neglect.

If you or others have concerns about the safety or welfare of a child, young person or adult, it is your responsibility to act on those concerns.  Record your concerns in writing and pass them on without delay.
