Safeguarding

Total Training Solutions & Consultancy Ltd takes great pride in providing an environment for learners to feel comfortable to discuss and raise any poor practices. The Safeguarding Adults policy is discussed at the beginning of each training course regardless of what subject is being delivered, and learners are encouraged to recap on what their in-house policy says on the reporting of abuse.

When trainers are sufficiently concerned about a learner's disclosure or raised issue, or where they have a reason to believe that a learner is not going to raise an alert themselves despite advice, they themselves can make a referral to either the Safeguarding or DoLS team. The appropriate action will be considered by the trainer dependent on the circumstances. Trainers are not responsible for discussing any of these issues or disclosures with the manager or employer of the setting where the training took place.
