Moving and Handling Training in Shrewsbury – Accredited Practical Course
Accredited Moving and Handling Training in Shrewsbury Recognised by CQC Expectations
Moving and Handling Training in Shrewsbury is a mandatory practical course for care providers who must evidence that staff can move and support people safely using correct techniques, risk controls, and appropriate equipment. Handling incidents are a leading cause of staff injury, service user harm, and avoidable reportable events — and inspectors expect demonstrable competence, not theory-only awareness.
Salus Training delivers accredited Moving and Handling training that is CQC-aligned and suitable for training records and inspection evidence. Sessions are practical and coached, focusing on real care activities (transfers, repositioning, mobility assistance, bed/chair routines) and safe decision making around risk assessment and care plans.
Course Duration: 4–6 hours practical
Delivery: On-site coached practical training
Availability: 7 days a week
Why Moving and Handling Training Matters for Providers
