Safeguarding is how we can protect children, young people, and vulnerable adults from abuse or neglect by the actions, or lack of actions, of
another person. In order to safeguard and protect persons from abuse or neglect we need to learn how to identify vulnerable individuals and take necessary steps to stop abuse and neglect. 

Everyone has the right to be safe and live without the fear of abuse, neglect, or exploitation and this course aims to teach you how to recognize the signs of abuse and neglect and what actions you can take to stop this from happening and occurring again in the future. Abuse, neglect, and exploitation can occur anywhere and by anyone, quite often being a person of trust.
