The DSL plays a central role in protecting people from harm, neglect, or exploitation.

It covers statutory guidance, leadership responsibilities, and how to create a culture of safety in any setting. Designed for anyone stepping into or already in the role of a DSL, this online training is a vital resource to ensure you are acting within the law and in the best interest of those at risk.
