Learning and Development Programme
To support effective safeguarding arrangements across Bury, the Safeguarding Adults Board is committed to providing multi-agency training and learning opportunities, and at its August meeting it considered an update on the learning and development programme.
The programme has been designed to equip all partners with the necessary knowledge, skills, and competencies to effectively protect and support adults at risk of harm. The programme has been informed by themes from Safeguarding Adult Reviews that have been undertaken in Bury.
The landscape of safeguarding is continually evolving, driven by changes in legislation, policy, and best practices. It is essential for professionals across the partnership to stay informed and up-to-date. This programme offers a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary approach to learning, ensuring that all participants, regardless of their role, are well-prepared to meet the challenges of safeguarding in today’s complex environment.
We’re offering a variety of learning experiences, including interactive workshops, case studies, scenario-based training, reflective practice sessions, 7 minute briefings and e-learning. These have been designed not only to enhance your understanding of safeguarding principles but also to foster a collaborative approach to protecting vulnerable adults.
Together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of vulnerable adults. We encourage you to actively participate in the events, share your experiences, and apply the knowledge gained from the training programme to your day-to-day practice.
