Moving and Handling Clients Safely Level 2

This course deals predominently with the movement and handling of individuals to maximise their physical comfort.  Although it is primarily concerned with moving and handling people, the health and safety principles described should be applied to all moving and handling tasks.

The Distance Learning Moving and Handling Clients Safely course covers the moving of individuals who require assistance to move from one position to another and this course will help students gain the knowledge of preparing clients for moving and handling, together with specific techniques.

The final module deals specifically with assisting clients, to prevent and minimise the adverse effects of pressure and the other modules also discuss moving and handling methods, to prevent damage to pressure areas.

The importance of recognising the individual’s needs and wishes, and involving them in the decision making process is emphasised. Also covered is the assessment of health and safety risks to clients and care workers.
