Adult Support and Protection training

Regardless of your role within North Ayrshire Council, you have a legislative duty to report, if you know or believe an adult may be at risk of harm.

Would you or your staff know what to do if the circumstance arose? Do you know the difference of what is classified as an adult at risk of harm, and a general social work concern? Do you know how to complete the necessary referral?

To try an assist staff in identifying the differences in referral types and ensuring all concerns are recorded in line with the legislation, we are now offering back to back training courses. ASP Level 1 course in the morning and after lunch the ASP referral pathway workshop.

The Workshop allows participants to access the online system, and complete a referral in line with a case study situation. This will show how the referral should be completed, especially focusing on the evidence required within the 3-Point Criteria. As a consequence, by working through such a referral, it will help identify the difference between ASP and a social work referral, which is also explored during ASP Level 1.
