Training

Training has an essential role to play in preventing abuse, raising awareness of abuse, and ensuring everyone responds appropriately and promptly to concerns of abuse. The Buckinghamshire Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults Board (BSVAB) has produced guidance on training requirements in all agencies.

The Training Strategy gives an overview of recommended training in Buckinghamshire, who needs the different levels of training and how training can be accessed.

Training and support currently available include:

• Safeguarding Adults Core Training (Basic Awareness)
• Responding to Alerts of Abuse
• Investigator Training
• Managers’ Briefings
• Train the Trainer
• Mental Capacity Act
• Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards Awareness 
• Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards Process and Procedures 

The Training Directory provides details of all the above courses and how to enrol for a course.

We also host a training standardisation group to support the work of in-house trainers. For more details contact the safeguarding training and development manager.
