As a profession we are ideally placed to identify children, young people and vulnerable adults who may be at risk of abuse and neglect. We all have a responsibility to know the signs of abuse and what to do if we recognise these signs in the course of our practice.
For those who work in community pharmacy, one of the Quality Payment Criteria for 2017/18 is that ‘…80% of registered pharmacy professionals working at the pharmacy have achieved level 2 safeguarding status for children and vulnerable adults in the last two years.’
The CPPE e-learning programme - Safeguarding children and vulnerable adults: a guide for the pharmacy team maps to levels 1 and 2 of the intercollegiate document so is an ideal way to ensure that you have the skills and knowledge to meet this criteria.
There is a level 2 assessment that pharmacy professionals can complete to prove their competence at this level and a level 1 assessment for support staff to show that they have successfully completed safeguarding training too.
CPPE also offer a Safeguarding children and vulnerable adults face to face workshop that has the advantage of allowing peer discussion and sharing of best practice as well as the opportunity for you to hear from a safeguarding expert from your local area.
The aim of this learning resource is to give you the skills, knowledge and confidence to deal professionally with any safeguarding issues that may arise in the course of your practice.
Completion of the programme and the associated Level 2 assessment will fulfil the safeguarding requirements at Level 2 for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians as required for the Pharmacy Quality Scheme and by the intercollegiate document Safeguarding children and young people.
Completion of the programme and the associated Level 1 assessment will allow pharmacy support staff to prove their competence at Level 1 as required by the intercollegiate document Safeguarding children and young people.

On completion of all aspects of this learning programme you should be able to:This e-assessment is linked with the CPPE Safeguarding children and vulnerable adult: a guide for the pharmacy team e-learning programme and assesses you on the learning objectives within the programme.
Why should I do this assessment?
This e-assessment completes the learning you began with the CPPE Safeguarding children and vulnerable adults e-learning programme. Successful completion will provide evidence of your learning at Level 1 of the Intercollegiate Document: Safeguarding children and young people - roles and competences for healthcare staff (2019).This e-assessment is linked with the CPPE Safeguarding children and vulnerable adults – a guide for the pharmacy team programme and assesses you on the learning objectives within that programme.
Why should I do this assessment?
This e-assessment completes the learning you began with the CPPE Safeguarding children and vulnerable adults – a guide for the pharmacy team programme. Successful completion will be recorded in your My CPPE record and will enable you to complete a CPD entry on the learning. It will also provide evidence of your learning at Level 2 of the Intercollegiate Documents: Safeguarding Children and Young People – Roles and Competences for Healthcare Staff (Fourth edition -2019) and Adult Safeguarding: Roles and Competencies for Health Care Staff (2018). If you are working towards completing a Declaration of Competence for a pharmacy service, successful completion of this assessment will provide evidence of your learning.The minimum level of safeguarding training for pharmacy professionals is level 2 so all pharmacy professionals should pass the CPPE Safeguarding children and vulnerable adults level 2 e-assessment. Safeguarding assessments should be repeated every two years, as a minimum, to ensure knowledge is kept up to date. In addition, CCGs have local policies on which level of safeguarding training each profession should undertake and when. Some areas recommend level 3 safeguarding training for all pharmacy professionals and some recommend level 3 safeguarding training only for healthcare professionals who work predominantly with children and young adults. Pharmacy professionals should check the local requirements for safeguarding training with their employer, CCG safeguarding lead and/or Local Safeguarding Children Board. CPPE cannot provide level 3 training as it requires an element of multidisciplinary discussion about case studies. E-learning can be used at level 3 and above but should not be the only form of learning. However, it can be used as preparation for reflective team-based learning. It is expected that around 50 percent of the learning time will be interactive and involve the multi-professional team wherever possible. This includes, for example, formal teaching/education, conference attendance and group case discussion, sometimes as part of regular multi-professional and/or multi-agency staff meetings. E-learning for Health (e-LfH) has e-learning on Safeguarding children as part of level 3 training, which all healthcare professionals can access. Some CCGs provide level 3 safeguarding training courses and some employers have access to online safeguarding training.

All regulated health and social care professionals in England and Wales, including pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, now have a mandatory duty to report cases of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) in girls under the age of 18. This learning is to help you understand when this new duty applies, and when to follow existing local safeguarding procedures – and how these obligations fit with our standards.
These documents remind health services of their duties to safeguard adults.
