We work in a number of educational environments providing specialist advice and consultancy on the moving and handling of students with complex needs.

“It was a good course to learn (Epilepsy Awareness and Buccal Midazolam Training). I feel empowered and more knowledgeable and to my organisation, value had been added. The trainer (Sarah) was amazing.”
