Modules:

- Legal framework – including Care Act 2014, Mental Capacity Act 2005 and Mental Health Act 1983
- Policy framework – Making Safeguarding Personal and Think Family
- Research into self-neglect and effective practice – including professional curiosity, interventions that work, barriers to good practice and how to overcome them
- Learning from Safeguarding Adult Reviews – including the TSAB self-neglect procedure in practice and professional challenge
