Safeguarding
Types of Abuse
Abuse is sometimes, but not always, easy to spot. It can be subtle, hidden, complicated, and confusing. It’s a deeply personal topic, and it can be upsetting to think about. But it’s really important to talk about what happens in abusive situations so that you can recognise the warning signs and help to protect people from it. We all have a responsibility to look out for each other. Especially if your work or volunteer activity brings you into contact with children or vulnerable adults. It’s vital that you’re aware of the different types of abuse so that you can safeguard people from preventable harm.
Learning outcomes:
- Explain the main categories of abuse
- Identify specific types of abuse and abusive situations
- Recognise some key warning signs of abuse
