Why safeguarding in the workplace matters
Safeguarding is not just for schools, healthcare, or social care; it matters in the workplace too. Employees in supportive roles such as HR, managers, and Mental Health First Aiders are often the first to notice or be told when someone is at risk of harm, abuse, or neglect. Without the right training, they may miss critical warning signs and be unsure how to act, leaving individuals vulnerable and organisations exposed.

Designed for awareness, not instruction
Our Safeguarding Adults at Work course is designed to teach employees how to recognise, respond to, and report safeguarding concerns. It is not created to train others or qualify someone to act as a Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL).
If your goal is to become a safeguarding trainer or DSL, you’ll need additional qualifications that provide assessment frameworks, supervision, and practical experience.

No. Each person should complete the Safeguarding Adults at Work course directly. Safeguarding can’t be “cascaded” through informal sharing. This course is designed to build individual awareness and understanding of safeguarding, not to enable others to deliver training. It does not include the frameworks, assessment tools, or depth required to train others safely and effectively.
If your goal is to deliver safeguarding training or act as a DSL, you’ll need accredited qualifications designed for that purpose.
The Care Act (2014) introduced the term “adult at risk”, recognising that anyone can be vulnerable depending on their circumstances, not just those in care settings. This means safeguarding applies to every workplace, and factors such as mental health, financial stress, domestic abuse, disability, or workplace dynamics can all increase vulnerability.
Without any safeguarding training and awareness, businesses are exposed to significant legal, ethical, and reputational risks. These include:
- Mishandling disclosures: Failing to recognise or report concerns correctly.
- Non-compliance: Breaching the Care Act (2014) or internal policies.
- Increased harm: Missing early warning signs that could protect someone at risk.
- Reputational damage: Loss of trust from employees, customers, or the public.
Safeguarding training ensures everyone knows how to act responsibly.
No. Becoming a DSL requires specific qualifications, experience, and ongoing supervision that go beyond awareness training. This e-learning course is a foundation for recognising and responding to safeguarding concerns, not for leading safeguarding processes or training others.
