This training is for lawyers who may come into contact with vulnerable people through their work. In particular, it is aimed at those who hold legal aid contracts and must meet the requirements of the Specialist Quality Mark (SQM) standard in respect of safeguarding.

Everyone has the right to be kept safe from harm, abuse or neglect. We all have obligations to ensure that vulnerable people are protected and that we have appropriate procedures in place to ensure that abuse is identified and reported.

We will help you to understand the following;

  • What is safeguarding?
  • The different types of abuse
  • Example signs of abuse, harm and neglect
  • What action should be taken if abuse is suspected
  • The SQM requirements
  • What a Safeguarding Policy should include

Please note that this topic is covered in our Specialist Quality Mark (SQM) Standard Training Requirements Courses.

The online course is suitable for staff of all levels, from support staff to senior Partners.

What clients say

"I have known the team at DG Legal for over 5 years.

In having used them to set up my private practice, they were the only organisation that were efficient, reliable and trustworthy. Having to deal with the SRA, The Law Society, The LAA, and then indemnity insurance brokers were a few of the challenging organisations that I had to face. It is here that the vast experience of David Gilmore, with his endless list of contacts comes into fruition.

On a more important note, after he and Melanie had assisted in setting up my business, they have always been available at short notice; either on the phone or email. It is obvious from the level of service provided that DG Legal pride themselves on client care and then changing this professional relationship into an ongoing friendship, making you feel at ease to get on with other matters.

David’s knowledge of having previously worked at the highest level is clearly apparent when you talk to him. He is full of facts and figures and more importantly, I have found that he is always available in case of an emergency. He has a very sound business structure and a very solid team behind him."
