RSDO Training provides practical, experience-led Moving & Handling Training for organisations working within health and social care and support environments.
Designed to help staff work more safely and confidently, this training focuses on safer moving and handling practices, reducing risk and improving confidence within real working environments.
Moving & Handling Training from RSDO Training supports organisations in helping protect both staff and the individuals they support through practical, realistic and supportive training delivery.
Staff working within care and support environments are often required to assist individuals with mobility, positioning and day-to-day movement as part of their roles.
Without the right training, moving and handling tasks can increase the risk of injury, strain, reduced confidence and unsafe working practices for both staff and service users.
Staff working within care roles often carry significant physical demands within their day-to-day responsibilities, making safe and practical training especially important.
Effective Moving & Handling Training can help staff:
The aim is to help staff feel more informed, more confident and better equipped to carry out moving and handling tasks safely within their working environments.
No two care environments are the same, which is why training should reflect the realities staff experience within their own roles and organisations.
Training should feel relevant to the environments staff actually work within every day, rather than relying purely on generic classroom-based examples.
One of the strengths of RSDO Training is the broad range of care and support environments we have worked within over the years.
Our experience includes working across:
Working across hundreds of environments over the years has provided valuable insight into the different pressures, situations and day-to-day challenges staff teams may encounter.
Supporting such a broad range of organisations helps training remain grounded in real-world experience rather than generic theory or purely compliance-focused delivery.
Working across a wide range of environments also provides broader understanding of the practical realities staff face every day, helping training remain realistic, supportive and relevant to modern care and support environments.
Supporting such a broad range of services over many years also provides valuable understanding of the different pressures, mobility needs, staffing challenges and practical situations organisations may encounter across the sector.
At RSDO Training, we believe effective training should help staff feel more confident and better supported within their roles.
Training is designed to encourage understanding, discussion and practical confidence rather than overwhelming staff with theory-heavy or purely compliance-focused delivery.
Our Moving & Handling Training focuses on:
Rather than relying heavily on classroom-based theory, the focus is on practical understanding and realistic discussion around the situations staff may encounter within their day-to-day roles.
The aim is not simply to deliver box-ticking training, but to help staff feel more prepared, more confident and better equipped to work safely within real care and support environments.
Training is delivered by Andy Williams, a qualified First Aid Trainer, Moving & Handling Trainer, Physical Intervention Trainer and holder of the Level 3 Award in Education and Training, whose background spans decades of teaching, coaching and frontline professional experience.
Alongside many years spent within the police service as both a tutor and sergeant, Andy has also worked extensively across health and social care environments, supporting thousands of staff and working with organisations across more than 700 care settings over the years.
This broad exposure helps ensure training remains practical, realistic and relevant to modern care and support environments.
We understand that care and support environments often operate around shift patterns, staffing pressures and varying operational demands.
We understand the pressures many care environments operate under, which is why flexibility and practical delivery are important parts of our approach.
Training can therefore be arranged to suit the needs of your organisation wherever possible, including:
RSDO Training delivers Moving & Handling Training nationwide and can also support organisations remotely via Zoom where appropriate. We understand that many staff working shift-based roles can struggle to access training during traditional working hours, which is why flexibility forms an important part of our approach.
Our aim is always to make training accessible, supportive and workable for both organisations and staff teams.
Much of our work comes through repeat organisations, referrals and long-standing professional relationships and repeat organisations developed across the care and support sectors over many years.
Organisations choose RSDO Training because of the combination of practical experience, supportive delivery and genuine understanding of the environments staff work within every day.
With experience across hundreds of care and support environments, our training is designed to feel approachable, relevant and realistic rather than generic or overly theory driven.
We believe good training should help staff feel more confident, better supported and more prepared for the realities of their roles.
Training is supported by current insurance cover, DBS-checked trainers and a growing collection of positive Google reviews from organisations across the sector.
