Know safe moving and handling techniques in relation to people and/or objects.

Our course therefore includes:

The Legal FrameworkThe Assessment Process (T I L E)

AnatomyPractical exercises in moving and handling people

The practical exercises are based on The Guide to the Handling of People (6th Edition)published by BackCare.

We do not train delegates on this course in the use of hoists other than in very general terms. There areso many different types and we find that the manufacturers or suppliers usually

prefer to train users themselves - often free of charge.

For some of the practical exercises, an empty bed will be required.For Health & Safety reasons, it is not possible for our trainers to demonstrate practicaltechniques on any of your service users. One of the delegates will be requested to act

as a service user for the purposes of the demonstration.

It would also be extremely helpful if you could forward a copy of your Moving & Handling policytogether with your assessment procedure if you have these in place. The course can be taught in

general terms but it does help to know beforehand of any procedures regarding Moving and Handlingwhich are already in place.
