Learning pathway

Not sure where to start with our learning resources? Want to expand your adult safeguarding knowledge, but just have the feeling that you 'don't know what you don't know'? We've designed a learning pathway to take you on a journey through our key adult safeguarding learning resources.

This pathway will help you to cement your understanding of the basics, develop your skills and knowledge, and enhance your practice. Once you've completed this pathway you'll be on-track to a solid understanding of adult safeguarding, and in a position to visit some of our more specific learning resources, such as learning from our Safeguarding Adults Reviews.

We've also created a Learning Pathway Workbook to support you through your journey. It will guide you through each learning resource and provide opportunities for you to reflect on your learning, explore further reading, and note down any actions you need to take forward for your practice. There are two versions of this workbook available; one to download and print for completion by hand, and one which you can type into on-screen. You can download these below.
