Abuse: Preventing, Recognizing, and Reporting
All caregivers are responsible for ensuring the safety of those in their care. This includes protecting them from abuse. Unfortunately, incidents of abuse and neglect often go unrecognized and unreported. This is why it is critical for all caregivers to be able to recognize potential abuse, know how to respond, and take steps to prevent abuse. This course aims to educate direct care professionals on how to recognize and prevent abuse.
