We all know that prevention is better than cure, but too often our responses to situations of abuse and neglect are left until after harm has been caused.

While not every situation can be predicted, this insightful course explores ways that professionals, support workers and family members can take steps to prevent abusive situations before they occur.

We explore ways to recognise and respond to serious risk and what to do if we suspect a vulnerable person is in danger.

Applicable to sectors such as education, health, youth, childcare, disability, mental health and seniors, the tools and precautions presented can be used in a wide variety of situations where people may be at risk.

This crucial course will teach you the practical steps anyone can take to reduce risk and make a difference, in either a personal or professional context.

Topics include:

Bearing witness: the power of presence
Evaluating the situation
Signs that help is needed
Safe interventions
Privacy vs Everyone’s Business
The art of redirection
The courage to speak up
Engaging nearby support
What can I do legally?
