Guidance about our Adult Support and Protection Training in Highland

FIRSTLY, EVERYBODY SHOULD DO THE ONLINE MODULE ON TURAS – it’s called “Adult support and protection: practice Level 1 [informed] and is in the NES Public Protection Zone.

 

NOTE: Our trainer-led Level 1 and Level 2 courses are intended for DIFFERENT staff groups. (The Level 2 course is not a "follow-on" to the Level 1 course).

Level 1 Group

Then, if you are part of the first group of workers below - you should book to do the trainer-led “Adult protection: introduction to adult protection in Highland [Level 1]” course.

Social Care Assistants, Healthcare Assistants, Social Care Workers, Domestic Staff in hospitals / care facilities, Care at Home Workers, Emergency Services workers, Housing staff and any other Highland Council Grades 1 to 4 or NHS Grades 1 to 3. (But not those in "Senior" roles).

You do not need to do the Level 2 course – please do not try to book onto it.

Level 2 Group

However, if you belong to this second group shown here:-
