Dedicated adult social care providers make a difference in the lives of individuals every day. We recognise your essential role in providing quality care and ensuring the safety of those under your support. As part of the Skills for Care core and mandatory training framework, mastering assisting and moving people is paramount to your professional development. This vital skill aligns with the Care Quality Commission's key question of safety and its significance in delivering high-quality care.
As a Skills for Care endorsed provider, join us as we explore the principles of assisting and moving people and the importance of safe practices.
The importance of safe practices
One of the primary learning outcomes within the Skills for Care mandatory training framework is to move and position an individual safely. It's vital to know the proper techniques and procedures that minimise the risk of injuries to you and the individuals you assist. Understanding the equipment required for safe moving and positioning will also be emphasised to ensure optimal care delivery.
By implementing safe practices, you can mitigate risks and ensure the well-being of all involved, aligning with the Care Quality Commission's fundamental safety standard.

Guided by best practices
A comprehensive understanding of all legislation, national guidelines, policies, procedures, and protocols for moving and positioning individuals is essential. For example, adhering to the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 (HSWA) will equip you with the knowledge and skills to provide safe and effective care that meets the highest standards set by Skills for Care and the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
Additionally, understanding the anatomy and physiology of moving and positioning individuals will enable you to perform tasks safely and efficiently.
Communication, consent, and respect
Effective communication and obtaining informed consent are crucial components of safe care practices. Respecting individual choices, promoting dignity, and maintaining independence while assisting and moving people are critical within health and social care.
By prioritising these aspects, you can create a caring environment that upholds the highest standards of compassion and person-centred care.
