Regulatory Intelligence & Sector Compliance Updates

Why Manual Handling, Moving and Positioning, and Handling of People remain under scrutiny from the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

HSE Prosecution Insight

Care Provider Fined £120,000 Following Inadequate Moving and Handling Assessment

Recent Health and Safety Executive (HSE) prosecutions highlight severe penalties for care homes failing to maintain updated individual risk assessments or allowing untrained staff to operate active ceiling track and mobile hoists.

CQC Single Assessment Framework

Focus on Regulation 12: Safe Care and Treatment

CQC inspectors actively evaluate staff competency in the Moving and Positioning of residents during routine assessments, requiring evidence that care teams demonstrate practical ability in slide sheet transfers, hoist sling fitting, and fall recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Essential information for care home managers and training coordinators.

Does online e-learning satisfy CQC requirements for Manual Handling?

No. While online e-learning covers necessary theory, CQC inspectors and HSE guidelines require practical, face-to-face evaluation of staff using physical equipment (hoists, slide sheets, stand aids) before they assist service users independently.

How does the Support Club practical-only option work?

When using our Support Club e-learning platform, your staff complete their interactive Moving and Positioning theory modules online first. On the practical training day, our trainer conducts 3 streamlined practical-only sessions (1 hour 45 mins each), allowing you to pass up to 36 staff members in a single £350 day booking.

Where do you deliver this training?

We deliver on-site practical training at your care home, day center, or agency facility across St Helens, Liverpool, Knowsley, Sefton, Halton, Warrington, Cheshire, Greater Manchester, and nationwide.

What equipment do we need to provide at our venue?

Our trainer works directly with your facility's active hoists, slings, slide sheets, stand aids, and profiling beds so your team gains hands-on experience using the exact equipment present in their daily working environment.
