Overview
Caring for a family member or friend often involves physical tasks that can put strain on your body. Without the right skills and techniques, these tasks can lead to injuries for both for yourself as the Carer and the person you are supporting. This Moving and Handling training will equip you with some of the practical knowledge and confidence to assist someone with mobility safely. You’ll learn a variety of techniques to protect your well-being while ensuring the person you care for is handled with dignity and respect.
During the session, you will:
- Learn safe practices for lifting, transferring, and positioning to reduce the risk of injury.
- Understand how to assess situations and apply appropriate techniques for each scenario.
- Explore ways to maintain your own physical health while carrying out caring duties.
- Receive practical demonstrations and the opportunity to practice these skills in a supportive environment.
We look forward to supporting you in developing these vital skills to help make your caring role safer and more manageable.
