Are you responsible for arranging Moving and Handling training for your staff?
How does your organisation ensure the high quality training of those who have received classroom training?

We have adopted and developed our Moving and Handling training which can be tailor made to your own organisation. The training is divided into a Manual Handling theory module which lasts 2 hours and must be completed during each training course, and a practical session. Self assessment to identify any learning needs will take place prior to the training starting. The trainers will then work alongside your staff and train in the necessary techniques and with the appropriate equipment and assess their theory and techniques. At the end of the training a certificate will be issued for all those achieving the desired level. For those who are identified as needing further education their manager will be informed and further training arranged. A maximum of 9 delegates can be assessed in 1 day. Objectives will include mandatory techniques and discussions plus any specific needs identified by your organisation. Please ring Deborah Bell for further information Costs:

Time: 9.30am-4.00pm
What is a Trusted Assessor? A ‘Trusted Assessor’, when trained, will be able to assess for and prescribe a simple solution or a basic piece of equipment to meet the needs of an individual. It is the Government’s vision that this will alleviate both Occupational Therapists’ time and also waiting lists. Disabled Living has worked hard to tailor our training to meet individual job roles - this could be, amongst others, Driver Fitters, OT Assistants, Retailers and Housing Associations. The course consists of four modules. To become a ‘Trusted Assessor’ with Open Awards Accreditation at Level 2 all four modules must be completed. Each Module requires attendance for 6 hours per training day, together with 4 hours workplace/home study. Participants are assessed and this award is accredited by the Open Awards. Please turn over for the four modules we offer within the Trusted Assessor Framework. Target Group: This course is for anyone who is or will be assessing for low level equipment for Adults. All four modules must be completed for those assessing and prescribing solutions, Minor Adaptations or Assistive Technology. Cost: £400 Plus VAT including Open Awards Registration and Verification Please Note: These Modules can be tailor made for groups of up to 12 and can take place at Disabled Living or a venue of your choice ( there is certain training equipment that is required at the venue) To discuss rates and prices please call 0161 607 8200 or email training@disabledliving.co.uk for more details.

Trusted Assessor Module 1: Safety Issues in the Provision and Fitting of Basic Equipment Content: Effective communication Provides an overview of how we communicate with each other, looking not only at words, but underlying meanings, facial expression and body language. Whilst identifying problems that may occur when there are communication difficulties due to disability. Understanding and identifying boundaries Everyone has boundaries. Where are yours and how do you recognise them? What knowledge do you have of who you can call upon when you reach your boundaries? This is an interactive session. Person-Centred thinking Considers holistic person centred assessments and looks at what Independence means to the client. We will look at the whole person and consider things such as priorities and preferences, likes and dislikes, lifestyle, family situations and environmental considerations. Risks in the Bathroom Makes us think about what possible problems there can be in a room as commonplace as a bathroom. Perhaps getting into the bath, when living alone, is not as safe as we think. We look at physical problems, cognitive awareness, lack of sensation, environmental factors and family requirements. Practical Sessions Will start to look at assessment of the client, the carer and the environment. We will focus on when and what to supply and look at what we can do when “the usual� will not work. We will compare and contrast different solutions and get an overview of how things fit. Even staff who will not fit equipment in the future need to know what they are asking for with regard to the correct piece of assistive technology in a particular situation. What your Driver/Fitter needs to know Was put together by driver/fitters who sometimes find that what they are asked to deliver is in fact not suited to the particular situation in hand. With more information your driver/fitter can be sure of providing a better service. Venue:

Trusted Assessor Module 2: Assessing Competently and Confidently Content: Transforming Community Equipment Services Looking at the reasons behind the Government wanting to change how a person gets the help they need. What is independent living? Evaluating what the Trusted Assessor role is. Assessments Exploring more deeply the problems being experienced by a person, not assuming they need a piece of equipment. We need to consider issues such as physical problems and struggling to get out of a chair. Would this also have an impact on the ability of a person to get on and off the toilet? Person-Centred Practice A Practical session that looks at pre-judgements and using individuality to overcome such issues. Using the Trusted Assessor Model to enhance a person centred approach and looking at all aspects of the client’s life e.g. leisure, social. Task Analysis Breaking down the activities of daily life to ascertain the needs of a person in order to function with or without equipment.. Time and Motion Practical sessions which look at a person with needs. Does use of equipment fulfil these needs or can the issue be addressed differently? Clinical Reasoning Looking at the steps a person goes through with regard to problem solving. Venue:
Burrows House Training Suite, Priestley Road, Worsley, M28 2LY

Trusted Assessor - Module 3: The Environment and How Minor Adaptations can Assist with Independence Content: Disability Awareness Discussion is set in the context of the Medical and Social Models of Disability. The origin of the “negative” connotations of certain words is explored. Appropriate communication and etiquette is discussed. This session ends with a powerful video which confronts common stereotypes of disability. Access Issues Attention is drawn to four main “areas” of disability which include mobility, visual, hearing and mental health/learning disability. Delegates complete a simple audit of the venue and are tested in a Picture Quiz. Legislation and Regulations conclude this section. Person-Centred Assessment Delegates, working individually, perform a Basic Task Analysis, assessing the risks of tasks and activities and consider the specific needs of disabled people. Scenarios Delegates whilst working in groups consider adaptations in real life situations (actual bathroom, shower, toilet etc in the venue itself) and report back to the rest of the course members.

Trusted Assessor - Module 4: Living with Disability Content: Effective Communication and Experimental Learning Delegates work in groups to develop and rehearse skills used to communicate effectively with others who may have a range of sensory, physical or cognitive needs. Listening and learning styles are examined through practical activities. Delegates finish by applying this information to a working scenario of equipment issue. Functional Ability and Impairments Delegates work independently to identify what constitutes functional ability, looking at activities of daily living and relating them to motor, sensory and cognitive skills. Delegates examine the impact of a variety of functional impairments and consider how assistive technology may help to overcome these. Person Centred Assessments Delegates will review detailed written personal accounts to identify a range of priorities in different circumstances. Reasoned Solutions Delegates work in small groups to propose solutions relating to people with various disabilities. These focus on the most common difficulties that service users may experience. The delegates identify a range of possible solutions, along with the necessary clinical reasoning for each one. Case Study (Homework) Delegates complete an assessment of a service user, to include the difficulties and priorities identified and giving the reasoning behind the interventions agreed. Venue:

Access Audits Do you and your organisation meet the needs of everyone who is using your building? Does it involve me? If you have a building that people access then yes it will involve you. The Equality Act 2010 states it is illegal to discriminate against a disabled person for reasons related to his or her disability. Employers, service providers and education providers must make reasonable adjustments to avoid discrimination. Do I need to do an access Audit? Yes. If you have a building that people need to access. You need to be able to show you have made a reasonable attempt to meet the needs of everyone using your building. You are obliged to look at any barriers and if at all reasonable to adopt measures to overcome them so that disabled people can use your building safely without being discriminated against. What are you looking at in the audit? The auditor will be looking at different aspects concerning your building and how a disabled person may be affected by them . Things like entrances, lifts, stairs, corridors toilets, car parking facilities and ways to escape in an emergency, The Auditor My name is Chris Cammiss and I perform all our Access Audits. I’ve been a permanent wheelchair user for most of my life and have gained a wealth of relevant experience over many years in education, employment, leisure and travel. Audits will be tailored to suit the needs and budget of the client. I have carried out Audits on a very diverse range of buildings from houses to tower blocks, museums to churches, sports stadia to hospitals. An Audit could be as simple as a short “walk-through” suggesting quick fixes backed up by a short report, right up to a major study involving Building Regulations. Every Audit would include a list of Priorities, and links to appropriate Guidance. An Audit will give you a clear plan and can often suggest simple, practical solutions that you may have missed. For further details please email chris.cammiss@disabledliving.co.uk or call Disabled Living on 0161 607 8200 and speak to Chris or Deborah.

Free for Family and Friends Moving and Handling Dates: 10th March, 10th August 2017 Presenter: Deborah Bell RGN, BSc (Hons) Who’s it for? Any Family and Friends who need to Move and Handle their loved ones (not for professionals) Content: Basic Moving and Handling techniques and equipment Principles of safe Moving and Handling Looking after your back Please contact the Training Department on 0161 607 8200 or email training@disabledliving.co.uk for more details.
The Complete Beginner's Guide to Moving and Handling at Work Are you really a complete beginner? That’s the first question to ask. You have been lifting things since you first picked your toys off the floor as a toddler so chances are you know there is a right and wrong way to do it. Let’s just imagine you are a toddler again, how did you pick up Barbie or Ken?
I’m not going to go into the scientific knowledge of development for children because I doubt you would read any further but I know one thing. You bent your knees to get down to the floor where your toy was and once you had a good grasp of it you hugged it close to you. Does this sound familiar when you are in a Moving and Handling training session? Think safe principles folks! So what does a ‘beginner’ need to know about Moving and Handling? Well I think as a beginner you need to know why you need training: why are there regulations and specific guidelines all about Moving and Handling. Health and Safety is the answer, before Moving and Handling training came there were many injuries in the nursing / healthcare profession.
‘Just doing our job’ If you were in practice before the Manual Handling Operations Regulations came into force in 1992 you will be very aware of the techniques which were used and passed on to new staff. The techniques we now deem as controversial were commonplace, the drag techniques for helping people to stand up was the technique of choice and full manual lifting techniques such as the top and tail or the Australian lift were considered the norm and used everyday repeatedly. I remember the day I was taught the Australian lift by a Physiotherapist at Charing Cross Hospital in London! I thought it was the best thing I had ever learned and proceeded to use the manoeuvre to shift large post operative men up the bed.
We used these and other techniques for many years and in hindsight it was all the controversial lifts we used repeatedly that have resulted in the back pain I feel regularly, I never had an ‘incident’ or specific injury that I can blame for the years of back ache but the cumulative effects of so many years of manual lifting and ‘just doing our job’
The cost of such injuries wasn’t limited to nurses and carers, workforces throughout the country were feeling the strain of litigation claims, sickness days due to back pain through the roof and the related problems this caused. So the Manual Handling Regulations were introduced. Injuries still happen but now we have a means to ensure we are trying to protect ourselves and our patients from injury which can be life changing. According to the regulations all of us not just beginners need to know how to avoid hazardous moving and handling and those words you have heard ‘so far is as reasonably practicable’ It’s not actually possible to avoid risk sometimes though so the regulations then suggest we Assess the situation, they give us a great way to look at all the factors which we must consider when assessing the risk. It’s TILE I am talking about here. After we have done this fabulous assessment we then need to use it to reduce the risks to ourselves and our customer when it comes to Moving and Handling so whether it means using a specific technique or a piece of equipment which would enable the movement to be done in a safer way for all we need to introduce this properly. How do we know it’s all been worth it? It’s all very well obtaining equipment but does it work, have we achieved what we set out to do, has our customer moved where they need to go and have we done it in the least risky way to ourselves and them? We review our assessments after any introduction of something different and if things changed, it’s not just a review once a year if it’s needed or not!! The Regulations also tell us all about the responsibilities we have as employees as well as our employers, you can’t just turn up at work and do your own thing, (although some people may think this) This basically means it tells our employers and employees what they are expected to do in the workplace when it comes to Moving and Handling, you will learn all this in the training that you need, the reasons for which we are discussing at the moment. So we need training to make sure we have a knowledge about the regulations in place to keep us Safe when Moving and Handling at work. We also need regular training to keep us up to date with new/different techniques, to stop bad habits creeping in and to give everybody the confidence to question and reflect how they are working. We all want to enjoy our jobs and if we can do it well and keep safe we can work in en efficient well run team that doesn’t go off sick with bad backs. Do I live in an ideal world, I’d like to. It’s difficult to get motivated sometimes, it’s hard to introduce change where it’s not welcomed by people who have always done things their way but training is the future, it’s how we all get better so come on lets learn something new.

2017 is a fantastic year for Disabled Living. The charity has been providing services for 120 years to disabled children and adults! Disabled Living started as a small Manchester based charity called ‘Band of Kindness’ and had various name changes over the years, the charity now provides a variety of services throughout the whole of the UK. We are so proud of what we have achieved. Over the past 120 years it is impossible to imagine how many people have been assisted by Disabled Living from Day trips to staying at the Children’s Orthopaedic Hospital. Throughout the year we are hoping to raise the profile of Disabled Living, after all of these years we still find that there are many people still not aware of the diverse services we provide. We want to do all that is possible to make the services more accessible for everyone. Disabled Living now cover a vast range of services from equipment assessments to incontinence advice, and we only aim to be able to help more. Disabled Living has achieved so much and helped the lives of so many, be sure to stay tuned throughout 2017 for all our Celebrations. We would like to thank everyone for allowing us to reach this milestone, your support does not go unnoticed and we are excited to see what the future of Disabled Living will bring.
