Refresher Course

We are able to provide half-day training as a refresher course to anyone who has previously completed a manual handling training course with us.

Manual Handling Training

People Movers and Manual Handling Training Course

Our Level 1 course introduces participants to the legal aspects of manual handling, the potential risks to the body, and the fundamental principles of safe moving and handling. It also covers the development and application of in-house policies and assessments. Building on this foundation, our Level 2 course delves deeper, offering practical training and competency assessments on various workplace maneuvers. This course not only enhances your understanding of manual handling but also empowers you to train others and lead group sessions on these crucial techniques.

Success Stories

Kind words from those who have worked with us

Saxon Care came to my rescue at a very difficult time. hey were able to find lovely carers at very short notice, eve though it was a weekend. Since my initial contact, they have continued to work with the family and listened to all our comments, leading to appropriate and friendly carers. My parents and all the family are in a much better place now due to this help. Thank you.
