I can see this could be a valuable training for inexperienced care workers or medical staff but for highly qualified professionals it is oversimplified and redundant. Some of the "correct" answers are debatable or wrong: for example if a vulnerable, older person starts suddenly losing weight etc. it does not necessarily indicate neglect. It could result from onset of dementia or anxiety. For therapists working with individuals in private practice and not in institutions, the course is oversimplified and irrelevant. This is partly because an experienced therapist is already versed in safeguarding issues at a much more professional level so making this course a requirement is like requiring a G.P. get a certificate in First Aid. Furthermore because psychoanalytical therapy does not take the clients communications as simple fact, and is based on an undertaking not to intervene in the client's everyday life, applying safeguarding procedures would raise massive ethical conflicts. For example if the client describes being victimised where the therapist's task is to help the client be less masochistic, reporting the victimisation as an established fact to outside agencies would risk colluding with the client and making their problems worse.
