Staff Training - Centaur Moving and Handling

This week our staff have been having training in Centaur Moving and Handling, to enable them to help our special children in a way that is safe for everyone. They have experienced being hoisted, hoisting each other and learning how to position the sling, how to work the hoist and how to safely support the children. The training also includes backcare exercise, to strengthen and protect the backs of our valued staff for years to come. Our inhouse trainers, Clare, Aimie, Linda and Chris have done a fantastic job and all of the new staff have thoroughly enjoyed the sessions. We are able to offer this training to others, so if you are interested in receiving this training for your staff in your setting, please contact school.
