Description
Introduction
The Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006 arose from serious cases where children, disabled, elderly and adults were found to have been abused in various different ways. This legislation was aims to safeguard vulnerable people through various activities; DBS is the disclosure and barring service that vets all persons who are seeking to work within work areas that have vulnerable groups and prevents anyone who is on the DBS list from gaining employment in such settings. Where UK legislation changes and is amended this course will be updated to reflect this.
Holistic therapists can find themselves in many different arenas, providing therapy to many different people with various backgrounds. Those people who are within the health and social care sector most often enjoy holistic therapies. However to provide services in these arenas requires additional information around safeguarding vulnerable people. This course aims to provide a background and understanding of safeguarding in order to prepare therapists to enter those areas where vulnerable people reside.
