Safeguarding vulnerable people for Holistic therapists

🌟 Understanding Safeguarding for Holistic Therapists: A Comprehensive Guide 🌟

Introduction
Safeguarding has become a cornerstone in the UK healthcare system, especially after the enactment of the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006. This landmark legislation was crafted in response to numerous cases where children, disabled individuals, elderly people, and adults were subjected to various forms of abuse. The DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) plays a pivotal role in this context by conducting checks on individuals who wish to work with vulnerable groups, effectively barring those deemed unsuitable from gaining employment in such sensitive sectors. As UK laws evolve and change, this course is committed to staying up-to-date with the latest regulations and incorporating them into its curriculum.
