About the Adult Safeguarding in a Secure and Detained Setting programme

This programme focuses on adult safeguarding and the roles and responsibilities of those working in secure and detained settings in England. It has been developed for a multi-agency audience, to enable better collaboration between teams and create a culture of safety by embedding safeguarding into everything the prison does.

The learning includes scenarios based in a prison setting, with attention to areas such as elderly care, self-harm and suicide, food refusal, and people with neuro-disability issues.  By the end of this session, learners will be able to:

• define what constitutes ‘safeguarding’and ‘at risk’ within a secure estate setting
• describe the at-risk factors and how they can impact adults detained within secure estate settings
• describe the potential impact of risk factors
• identify the statutory duties that underpin the support of adults at risk

More information

It is envisaged that further case study based learning within this programme will become available during 2022. Learners are encouraged to provide feedback via the session evaluation if they feel there are particular areas within adult safeguarding in a secure and detained setting, that would be useful to their practice.
