The same legislation seeks a different approach to this regulated activity. This manual focuses on different approaches that re-appraise the duty of care principle to help care workers, carers and others in domiciliary, care homes and nursing environments. This book achieves this reappraisal by letting readers know how to: * apply holistic care * comply with the laws on moving objects and people * collaborate with stakeholders like workers, care organisations, trainers, local authorities and occupational therapists. * understand workplace injuries, including musculoskeletal disorders and back care. * have professional approaches and best practices * adhere to aids and equipment guides such as hoists. * avoid safeguarding concerns * undertake risk assessments * apply care training techniques This author is a versatile train-the-trainer specialist with Level 7 qualifications in Senior Level Coaching and Strategic Management and Leadership, Health and Social Care Management and First Aid At Work, and has National Back Exchange and CIPD memberships. This book is for you if you seek best practices in moving and handling people safely, lawfully and in the best possible way.
