Moving & Handling Training

Yesterday and today new members of our staff team have taken part in Centaur Moving and Handling training from our in-house trainers Mo and Chris, along with Galina. This enables them to help our special children to move between equipment and generally, 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. The trainers have done a fantastic job and all of the new staff have enjoyed the sessions.
