School Staff training

EW2766

I'm a senco at a mainstream school. We have an 11 yr old in a wheelchair with cerebral palsy. New staff with no experience/training. Any idea where we can get staff training for moving and handling young adults and/or wheelchair training? He does not need a hoist - South west UK

Hi @EW2766

Thanks for your post and welcome to the community. Moving and Handling of People training should be provided by the Local Authority that has responsibility for the school and the well-being of the students.

There are some online courses for the moving and handling of people.

Moving and Handling People Online Courses | Kallidus

Moving & Handling of People - Train the Trainer | Flexebee

Wheelchair safety:

Wheelchairs, Their Safe Manual Handling & Transportation - Courses | The CPD Certification Service

Wheelchair Safety — DDS Learning

I hope the information is helpful.
