A 3-hour webinar, designed to enable staff within a GP Practice to be aware of their own roles and responsibilities within legislative, local and national policies and guidance. It will highlight the importance of the multi-disciplinary approach and how to safely apply the ‘Making Safeguarding Personal’ approach when managing suspected adult abuse concerns
