Safe Moving and Handling in Health and Social Care is a key part of the working day for most employees and poor moving and handling techniques can lead to musculoskeletal disorders and serious accidents. Employers must follow the Moving and Handling legislation and provide their employees with regular training in order to help reduce or remove the risk of injury. Our Moving and Handling training course is perfect for this.

The requirement to gain consent has two purposes, one legal and the other clinical (Richardson V, 2013). The legal purpose is to provide those delivering treatment with a defence to a criminal charge of assault or battery or a civil claim for damages for trespass to the person. The clinical purpose comes from the fact that in most cases the co-operation of the person and the person’s confidence in the treatment is a major factor in their consenting to the examination, treatment or physical investigation, or the provision of care.

The Care Certificate is an identified set of standards that health and social care workers adhere to in their daily working life. Designed with the non-regulated workforce in mind, the Care Certificate gives everyone the confidence that workers have the same introductory skills, knowledge and behaviours to provide compassionate, safe and high quality care and support.
