Feb 11 - Community Agencies Carry Out ‘Safeguarding Adults at Risk’ Training
The Care Agency hosted the first of two ‘Safeguarding Adults at Risk’ courses, on Friday afternoon at Bleak House.
The course was carried out by individuals of Gibraltar’s different agencies, including the RGP, GHA, Sports and Leisure Authority and the Citizen’s Advice Bureau. Procedures during the training included the Safeguarding Coordinator, Safeguarding Team Manager and Investigating Officer. Friday’s training was centred around these individuals from various agencies who take on important roles within the community.
On Friday morning, Police Commissioner Eddie Yome presented retired police Officer, Louis Jurado with a mobility scooter. Mr. Jurado used to serve as a uniformed officer in the Immigration Department.
An official launch was held at HM Naval Base today as Interserve took over as the new Integrated Support Provider (ISP) contractor for British Forces Gibraltar.
The donation of a GHA ambulance was made this morning to the Red Crescent, based in Moroccan city Chefchaouen. The Red Crescent’s Provincial Committee made a request for assistance recently. The city is situated in the Rif Mountains and has a population of just over 35,000 people.
