About this course
Welcome to Safeguarding Adults L1&2 with preventing radicalisation.
This course provides adult social care workers across the UK with standard principles and best practice guidelines in relation to safeguarding adults. There are some differences in legislation around safeguarding in the four countries of the UK, e.g. adult safeguarding being known as adult support and protection in Scotland. This course does provide information about the key differences across the UK, however the main focus is on the principles and guidelines of keeping adults safe.
This course is CPD-accredited.
This course meets level 1 and level 2 requirements as outlined in the CSTF as set by Skills for Health. This course also meets the CSTF requirements for basic PREVENT awareness training to prevent radicalisation.
It is important to note that *local policies and guidance should always be followed and all staff have a duty to be aware of, and comply with, their organisation's requirements*.

FAQ
What is CPD?
Continuous Professional Development (CPD) is the way that professionals continue to learn and develop throughout their career and ensure they keep their skills and knowledge up to date to be able to practise safely.
If you work in a role that requires registration with a regulatory body such as nursing, then you are required to keep your skills and knowledge up to date through CPD.
For example, all nurses on the NMC register must complete 35 hours of CPD in a three year period. E-learning can count towards some of the required CPD hours, so the great news is Academy e-learning modules can be used to evidence ongoing CPD hours!
Each module on Academy gives an indication of the time required in “active learning” to complete it. Once the module is completed and the assessment passed, a certificate is then issued which can be downloaded.
The terms CPD hours/scores/points are used interchangeably, although a module on Academy does not give the number of CPD “points”, the general guide is that usually one hour of learning equates to one CPD “point”.
Most of Florence Academy modules are independently accredited by the CPD Standards Office and many of them are also aligned to the Core Skills Training Framework (CSTF). Each course overview details whether the course is accredited and/or aligned, meaning you can be confident that they meet industry standards.
