Moving and Handling of People

About the Course

This moving and handling course can be bespoke to your needs, ranging from a full day course or the 2 day Welsh Passport. Training with Hart’s moving and handling course is versatile and up-to-date and can be tailored to you.

This course has both theory and practical elements of moving and handling of people, it is interactive to ensure staff are competent and feel confident in the best practice of moving and handling people; staff must be able to work correctly and safely to ensure compliance and safety in the care home.

After this course staff will feel better equipped and knowledgeable in their responsibilities and the legislation that is in place for moving and handling as well as their ability to risk assess each manoeuvre before starting it. We also look at how to keep all moving and handling tasks person-centred to ensure that the individual being moved is made to feel safe and respected.
