Moving and Handling (Level 2)
A deeper course for carers on the judgement around helping people move — reading the person, the day and the space, following moving plans, equipment awareness, protecting skin, responding to falls, and saying no safely when a move is beyond your training. Awareness and escalation only: hands-on techniques require practical employer training and authorisation. Builds on Mobility and Moving Safely.
