What is SoVA and why is awareness so important? – The Training Hub
It is a sad fact that abuse does occur within the care sector, often to individuals who are already in a vulnerable position. Abuse needs to be properly identified, dealt with and prevented, which is where SOVA awareness training courses prove to be useful for care workers.
SOVA stands for Safeguarding Vulnerable Adults (formerly Protecting Vulnerable People / Adults, or POVA). It is a concept and a training course, designed to help care staff properly protect the people in their care.
On a typical SOVA awareness training course, you are likely to learn about:
- The many different types of abuse
- The signs and symptoms of abuse to look out for
- Who can be classified as a vulnerable adult, and what sort of behaviour makes someone an abuser
- How to deal with abuse once it is discovered
- Current legislation relating to abuse
- The correct abuse reporting and disclosure procedures to follow
