Level 3: Safeguarding Adults (Section 42 Enquiries)

Safeguarding is more than a process – it is a commitment to protecting with purpose. 

This training guides practitioners through the safeguarding enquiry process step-by -step, empowering you to engage confidently and competently in Section 42 enquiries initiated in community settings. 

In this session, you will: 

• Appreciate the legal and ethical frameworks that guide a Section 42 enquiry; 
• Explore the flexible, trauma-informed approaches that can be used to support vulnerable adults; 
• Understand how to balance autonomy with duty of care; 
• Learn how to participate in safeguarding enquiries in a way that is person-centred, outcomes-focused and continuously guided by the principles of Making Safeguarding Personal (MSP);  
• Develop the practical skills required to navigate complex safeguarding scenarios, manage capacity and consent issues, respond to emerging risks and challenges, and maintain defensible decision-making. 

This session is suitable for: 

• Practitioners who contribute to safeguarding enquiries or participate in safeguarding meetings as part of their role; 
• Practitioners who routinely record and share information relevant to enquiries; 
• Practitioners who support adults throughout the safeguarding process.
