Adults at risk are often harmed by people they know and trust. You may be the one who notices a change, an unexplained bruise or money going missing. Level here means safeguarding competency level. Level 2 is for staff in regular contact with adults at risk.
This course covers what the Care Act 2014 expects workers to know about adult safeguarding. You learn the six safeguarding principles, the types of abuse and neglect, and how mental capacity shapes what you do. You learn to respond to a concern, keep the person at the centre, and record and report it. Prevent and concerns about people in positions of trust are covered too, with notes for Scotland and Wales.

Real feedback from learners studying with Lift College.
I was nervous about going back to study after 15 years, but the platform is so easy to use and the feedback I got on assignments was genuinely useful.
Good value and well structured. I appreciated that I could resubmit work without extra cost, really helped me improve.
Customer service was excellent. Any time I had a question it was answered within hours. Highly recommend.
I needed a qualification that actually meant something to employers. Ofqual regulation was the deciding factor, and it delivered.
