Safeguarding Adults and Mental Capacity Act training in Norfolk

Norfolk County Council                     Norfolk Safeguarding Adults Board

Coronavirus Information

At Norfolk County Council's request all training until 30th June 2021 has been converted to virtual (Zoom) training. We use Zoom because it allows us to deliver the training in a manner that is as close as possible to face-to-face training. So the content is the same, the overall duration of each topic is the same, and we are confident that you will enjoy it, and learn just as much, as you would usually do. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us - we will be very pleased to hear from you.

As soon as Norfolk County Council makes a decision on what training they want for July 2021 onwards, and what format they want, we will start scheduling dates here.

We open up new dates as soon as the existing dates start filling up. So please check back regularly to see what's available.
