Training & Development: Training Programme

The Leeds Safeguarding Adults Team is providing a programme of training for staff and management in health and social care services across all sectors; statutory, private or voluntary.

We provide a range of courses on a multi-agency basis across a wide range of services. There are different levels of training to suit the needs of different types of staff.

We have a basis awareness course; an intermediate course for senior staff and managers, and other more specific courses on specific themes.

Course timetable update:

The Multi-Agency Procedures in Safeguarding Adults course that was planned for 24 February has been cancelled.

Please note that the course on 29 March is no longer ‘Multi-Agency Procedures in Safeguarding Adults’. This will now be the ‘Safeguarding Adults an Intermediate Course’. This is a result of over-subscription to the two earlier dates and places on this date are also limited.
