“We deliver high quality moving and handling training onsite, because the better trained the staff, the better the level of care they provide to the people they support.”

Safe Moving & Handling
Specialist Safe Moving and Handling Training for Care Homes in Devon and Across the South West.
We deliver high-quality, in-house Safe Moving and Handling training designed specifically for care home environments. Our courses ensure that staff responsible for moving and handling residents are equipped with the practical skills, knowledge, and confidence required to carry out their duties safely, compassionately, and in line with current legislation and best practice.
Effective moving and handling is essential to protecting both residents and staff. Poor technique can lead to serious injuries, long-term health conditions, and increased risk to resident dignity and safety. Our training focuses on correct techniques, individual risk assessment, use of equipment, and person-centred approaches, helping care homes reduce incidents while maintaining high standards of care.
Investing in high-quality training demonstrates a clear commitment to staff wellbeing and resident safety. Well-trained staff feel supported and valued, are more confident in their roles, and are better equipped to respond to complex needs and changing care requirements. This leads to improved staff morale, stronger engagement, and greater consistency in care delivery.
Our Safe Moving and Handling training supports care homes in meeting their legal obligations under UK Health and Safety legislation and aligns with CQC expectations around safe, effective, and well-led services. “Inadequate training can expose providers to enforcement action, compensation claims, and reputational damage.” Our courses help mitigate these risks by embedding safe practice and compliance into everyday care routines.
As a local training provider, we work closely with care homes across the South West to support safer working environments, reduce workplace injuries, and promote positive organisational cultures. All training is fully compliant with UK Health and Safety regulations and designed to contribute to improved staff retention, reduced absence, and long-term operational stability.
