The course aims to increase knowledge about Self-neglect, the impact that it can have on an individual and to increase understanding and confidence in the use of Local Risk Management policies.

Modules: 

  • What is self-neglect? – why do people self-neglect, it is more than hoarding
  • Legal framework – including Care Act 2014, Mental Capacity Act 2005 and Mental Health Act 1983
  • Policy framework – Making Safeguarding Personal and Think Family
  • Research into self-neglect and effective practice – including professional curiosity, interventions that work, barriers to good practice and how to overcome them
  • Learning from Safeguarding  Adult Reviews – including the TSAB self-neglect procedure in practice and professional challenge

Entry Requirements: 

Delegates should have a basic awareness of Safeguarding, types of abuse and current legislation.  The content is suitable for anyone working with individuals who may be at risk of Self-neglect. Staff will be expected to have relevant prior training (i.e. in Safeguarding Adults, MCA), at level 1 or above, prior to attending this course. Completion of the Safeguarding Adults Awareness Workbook will meet this requirement. We would also recommend completing the TSAB Self-Neglect Workbook prior to attending this course.
