Moving and Handling Trainers

Aimie Gates · 2019-11-12T13:05:58Z

I'd like to know how other schools keep their Moving and Handling trainers qualified. At the moment our 4 leaders receive refresher training every 2 years by a company that is validated by the institution of Occupation of safety and Health. This is expensive. Plus we have to do 6 monthly competency tests. We have been advised of a different method of keeping our competency valuable. As long as trainers seek updates, info and attend seminars and create profiles to prove this,,,, we may not have to pay for external company to keep us qualified. How do other special schools keep their trainers qualified?

In Blackburn and Darwen we have 4 trainers delivering the SPH training to mainstream schools on request. We use Centaur and have to complete 3 monthly evaluations to maintain competency and a 2 yearly (just changed from 3yrs) practical refresher.
