Wednesday 21st June 2023 from 09:30 to 10:30 – Moving and Handling Information Session
This session will be led by Candice, a member of our Teaching Assistant Team as well as our Manual Handling Lead. Candice is also responsible for:
· Training staff on manual handling practices.
· Ordering new equipment for children when needed.
· Providing support for parents in learning how to safely handle their children to prevent knee and back injuries.
This is an excellent opportunity for you to discuss any manual handling queries or concerns that you may have regarding your child.
I hope to see as many of you as possible at these drop-in sessions; both are excellent opportunities for you to come to School and talk to me and our Team about any questions or concerns you may have.
If you have any questions in the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact the School Office Team on 0121 743 5730 or by email on familysupportworker@brays.fet.ac who will gladly be of assistance.
