The second part of the course is primarily designed for staff with a direct caring role with adults who may be at risk and who also have supervisory responsibilities and/or are professionally qualified. The Police Adult Protection Coordinator provides input along with Advocacy Services Aberdeen providing an overview of their role within the Adult Support and Protection process.
