Nottinghamshire Safeguarding Adults Board

Referrer Training dates 2020

Are you the person responsible for making Adult Safeguarding Referrals within your organisation based in Nottinghamshire County, as detailed in the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Safeguarding Adults procedure for raising a concern and referring?

If your organisation operates within Nottinghamshire County, and your role within that organisation requires you to act as Nominated Safeguarding Adults Referrer, you are cordially invited to attend one of the dates that Nottinghamshire Safeguarding Adults Board has set up to provide Adult Safeguarding Referrer Training.

This course has been developed to offer support, guidance, and clarity to you in your role as the person responsible for making Safeguarding Adults referrals within your organisation.

The overall aims of the session are to enable delegates to understand:

How to use the Nottinghamshire County multi-agency Referral Procedures and Pathways
What to do when a Safeguarding Adults Referral is not required
The function of the MASH (Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub)

The Learning Objectives for the course are to:

Explore your responsibilities as a referrer when a concern is raised with you or you have become aware that abuse or neglect of an adult at risk has occurred, or is suspected
Explore potential decisions which may result from the work you undertake as nominated referrer
Understand consent, information sharing, capacity and person centred approaches in relation to adult safeguarding referrals
Demonstrate the responsibilities and key components in making an effective adult safeguarding referral

Covering a range of learning styles, using a mixture of presentation and interactive exercises, we aim to equip you with the tools, knowledge, and confidence you need to make effective referral decisions on safeguarding adults concerns that are brought to your attention. There will be opportunities to network with colleagues, and have discussions on the topics presented.

Please note:

This event is only open to those responsible for making adult safeguarding referrals within your organisation.

We request that no more than 2 members of the same organisation attend per session.

Please note that numbers are limited, and if oversubscribed we may have to add you to a waiting list.

Nottinghamshire Safeguarding Adults Board reserves the right to cancel any booking it feels does not meet the registration criteria. In this event, we will contact you to explain our decision.

***Please note, this course will only cover the multi-agency procedures for Nottinghamshire County, not Nottingham City***
