Manual Handling Training Course for Unpaid Carers
On Tuesday 16 February 2027, The Vale of Glamorgan Council are offering a three-hour course on manual handling for unpaid carers who live in the Vale.
The course will be run by Rachelle Church, Manual Handling Co-ordinator of the Vale of Glamorgan Council.
WHO IS THE COURSE AIMED AT?
- Do you provide unpaid care for someone in the community (family member or friend) living in the Vale of Glamorgan?
- Do want to help someone in and out of a chair or a bed?
- Do you want to know how to help someone after a fall?
If you answered yes to any of the above, you may want to attend our manual handling next training session.
Although held in a manual handling training room setting, the sessions are very informal, and we’ll even give you a cuppa and a biscuit.
WHERE AND WHEN IS THE COURSE?
The course will be held in Civic Offices, Barry CF63 4RU in Barry on Tuesday 16th February from 9.30am to 12.30pm.
PARKING
There are car parking spaces available at the rear of the civic offices. After parking, can you make your way to the main reception by 09:20am.
IS THERE ANY COST TO YOU?
The training provided will be free of charge. There is however a cost to the Vale of Glamorgan Council in putting on any courses for unpaid carers, so please make every effort to attend this course. We will require at least 24 hours’ notice if you are unable to attend the course.
