Webinar: reporting concerns about safety

September 2022

This webinar looks at the requirements set out in the HCPC standards around safeguarding. Safeguarding means the ability to identify, acknowledge and respond appropriately to concerns about the safety and wellbeing of service users. The webinar explores definitions of neglect, abuse and other types of harm, identify the groups most vulnerable to harm and the requirements set out in the HCPC standards. 

This relates to standard 7 of the HCPC standards of conduct, performance and ethics, 'reporting concerns about safety', as well as standards 2.3 and 6.3 of the HCPC standards of proficiency for all professions. 

Presented by HCPC Professional Liaison Consultant and registered speech and language therapist Fiona Campbell, and HCPC Policy Manager Matthew Clayton
