All Wales Manual Handling Passport – Moving & Positioning (2 Days)Moving and positioning is a daily part of care — and when it is done well, it protects the person you are supporting, protects staff from injury, and helps maintain dignity and comfort. This two-day programme follows the All Wales Manual Handling Passport Scheme and gives learners a consistent, practical approach they can use confidently in real working environments.
Learners develop an understanding of why techniques work (body mechanics, load, balance and posture) and then apply that knowledge through supervised practice. The course focuses on safe decision-making as much as hands-on skill: choosing the right method, using equipment correctly, and knowing when to stop and reassess.
Who is this course for?
- New care workers: build confident foundations for safe moving and positioning from day one
- Experienced staff: refresh and standardise techniques to align with current best practice
What you will cover
- Anatomy and physiology of the musculoskeletal system
- Principles of manual handling and safer movement
- Practical lifting, moving and positioning techniques
- Using aids and equipment (including hoists and slide sheets where appropriate)
- Risk assessment, dynamic decision-making and documentation
How the course is delivered
Our trainers use classroom input, structured practical sessions and realistic scenarios so learners can translate the learning directly into their role. For private courses, examples and practice can be tailored to match your setting, policies and the equipment you use.
