Safeguarding Adults

The safeguarding adults elearning programme defines the safeguarding knowledge, skills and attitudes required by staff working in health and care settings.  The programme covers the safeguarding competencies, levels 1 to 4, and additionally, has material relevant to hospital executives; the programme is split into these four levels.

eIntegrity programmes are developed by NHS Health Education England’s e-Learning for Healthcare programme (HEE e-LfH). 

The programmes are high quality self-directed learning programmes.  They are designed to support training and CPD and are excellent resources alongside other traditional teaching methodologies.  They have been developed by the UK NHS for use in the NHS.  However, many of the programmes have international relevance, particularly the specialty training programmes which are often mapped to UK specialty training curricula.
