Freedom from Abuse: Empowering Participants Through Awareness and Action
Building Safer and More Respectful Support Environments
Every person deserves to live free from abuse, neglect, and exploitation — especially those accessing care and disability support services. The Freedom from Abuse – Empowering Participants course from 2Skill helps support workers and carers understand their responsibility to protect participants and promote a culture of safety and respect.
This training is essential for anyone working within NDIS, aged care, or community service environments, ensuring participants’ rights and wellbeing remain at the centre of all care practices.
What You’ll Learn in the Course
The course provides practical knowledge and tools to identify, prevent, and respond appropriately to signs of abuse or neglect. Learners will gain insight into:
The different forms of abuse and their warning signs
How to support participants’ rights and dignity
Responding safely and ethically to disclosures or incidents
Reporting obligations under the NDIS Code of Conduct
Creating safe and empowering environments for participants
By the end of this training, workers will have a clear understanding of how to act with professionalism, empathy, and accountability in every situation.
