About this course
In care environments, where individuals may require assistance with movement, proper moving and handling techniques are essential to minimise the risk of injury for both staff and those they care for. On completion of this Moving and Handling Train the Trainer course, learners will possess the skills and knowledge required to deliver a Moving and Handling training course to in-house staff.

Your staff will gain an understanding of key legislation relating to the moving and handling of individuals in care, the different types of injuries and accidents that are frequently encountered in the workplace and correct moving techniques. The Moving and Handling of People Train the Trainer course will also cover the teaching methods and different learning styles for them to become effective in-house Moving and Handling of People trainers.
