Adult safeguarding: Roles and competencies for health care staff (Royal College of Nursing)

This document has been designed for health care staff and the teams they work with. It supports staff to identify the competencies they need in order to provide personalised, and culturally sensitive, adult safeguarding.

It is designed to be used in all organisations that provide or commission health care for adults regardless of sector, setting or size. It is also designed to be used by all services who are commissioned to work directly with children but need also to be competent working with adults.
