Manual Handling in Childcare Settings half day (In-House Only)

Who should attend?

This half day course is designed for childcare professionals who can find themselves at a high risk of suffering a back injury, due to the types of loads involved. As the practical content of the course will involve practical lifting techniques, it is important that delegates attending this course are medically fit with regard to lifting and bending. We ask all delegates to declare any medical condition or injury that may put them at risk before undertaking the training.

Why should you attend?

The most common cause of low back problems comes from stretching muscles, tendons and ligaments leading to inflammation, swelling and pain. The key to minimising back pain is prevention. By bending correctly, back strain can be prevented. This half day course gives people working in a childcare setting the knowledge to prevent back and other injuries at work. Delegates will explore the principles of moving and handling, with practical instruction on handling children and inanimate loads. Additional subjects will include health and safety legislation and risk assessment. This course helps to meet the EYFS framework requirements.
