Safeguarding Training for Adults at Risk in Your Community

"The importance of empowering awareness and knowledge of safeguarding adults at risk has and is an ever-increasing priority to not for profit community and voluntary organisations in Kerry for Kerry Volunteer Centre. In lieu of recent and future legislative developments and requirements it is imperative that such groups have the capacity to meet their duty of care along with local access to expertise that will empower them to develop a robust culture and practices of safeguarding. Positively such competent experts as Maighread Kelly were and are available to Kerry Volunteer Centre to support groups across Kerry and beyond."

"I now have the knowledge and confidence to assist someone in a crisis situation. The training has heightened my awareness as to the needs of adults at risk, and given me the tools to apply it to any situation that may arise going forward with confidence. After the training I feel I am in a better place to deliver support to adults at risk and ensure the best possible outcome for them."

"I don't deal with safeguarding on a daily basis, but it will inform my future work I'm sure. Better understanding of safeguarding practices and where to go for help/advice/information. This training was engaging enough to be well-received online. If it wasn't as well-paced and engaging, and Maighread wasn't so knowledgeable and adept at managing time, questions etc., then it might have been difficult to maintain focus online."

"Maighread has been exceptional in providing guidance to us & her flexibility has been incredible - calls back within minutes of an urgent email, hugely detailed responses to various emails along the way & she has always been at the end of the phone. She has been instrumental in helping us to navigate the sector & getting up to speed on what we need to have accomplished to successful operate in today's highly regulated world. Her training sessions are very engaging, she holds your attention & focus & you feel like you have gained a wealth of information & everyone feels very empowered at the end. Her knowledge in the area knows no bounds!"
