If your organisation has contact with vulnerable adults then you should think about attending the Voluntary and Community Sector 
Conference for Safeguarding Adults.
Organised by Cornwall Rural Community Council (CRCC) and Cornwall Council the conference is for any voluntary and community sector organisation that has contact with vulnerable adults, not just those providing direct social care services. The conference will provide advice, information and practical tools.

There will be the opportunity to learn about key topics in a Safeguarding Adults context:
- Roles and responsibilities
