We run an extensive programme of training for our staff, and all of the staff at Newfield School receive Safer People Handling or Manual Handling training dependent on the job they have in school. This training is delivered on a three year rolling programme and keeps the staff updated on current legislation and good practice. As part of the training the staff experience for themselves what it feels like to be moved in various ways including hoisting. They also learn how to keep their backs strong and healthy through stretches and exercise which is what they are doing in this photograph taken at the session today.
