This Moving and Handling competency assessment helps care providers evaluate carers on safe patient handling practices. It covers consent confirmation, correct selection and use of equipment such as hoists and slings, slide sheets, rotundas, and wheelchairs, as well as preparation and planning for each manoeuvre. Assessors review posture and body mechanics, communication with colleagues and the service user, and the protection of safety, comfort, and dignity throughout the process. Use this checklist to document observations, add comments, and record names and locations during assessments in health and social care settings.
