Acorn takes the time to gain an understanding of your manual handling requirements within your organisation to ensure we provide meaningful and relevant training whether manual handling of clients or manual handing of loads training. We are excellent at adapting courses to suit the particular customer needs and making manual handling training both relevant and enjoyable. Our Manual Handling of clients courses are aligned to the Skills for Health Core Skills Training Framework (CSTF).
“I wanted to thank you for the efficient and friendly approach offered to us by you when booking our recent Emergency First Aid at Work course and a huge THANK YOU to Matt for being such a friendly, humorous, knowledgeable and profession trainer. All the staff enjoyed the course immensely and I have had some great feedback confirming how much they learned on the day and how much they enjoyed the one day course. The one-day course at our workplace offered great value for money as we were able to train 12 staff for essentially the cost of 4 when compared to other safely course providers.”

Here at Acorn Health & Safety Ltd, we are pleased to confirm that our Manual Handling of Clients training courses are all aligned to The Core Skills Training Framework (CSTF)
The CSTF allows employers to recognise training to a standard, trust that information and reduce duplication of training. It also gives confidence that training standards have been met and standardises the interpretation of statutory/mandatory or clinical/care training.
The Framework can be used by any healthcare employer in the UK including NHS, independent healthcare providers, bank staff and agency organisations, and educational organisations and ensures the educational relevance of the training and improves the quality and consistency of training provision.
How do we approach manual handling training?
Our moving and handling course programmes are regularly updated and reviewed to ensure the needs of learners are met. Our client handling courses are very popular among carers who need to update their manual handling of people techniques. In addition to the ‘manual handling’ aspect of the task, we focus on other areas that might also contribute to injury, for example:
- Fixed, static and sustained postures
- Work equipment such as computers
We also provide a manual handling of loads course for anyone who may have to handle any types of load.
Our courses delivered in a relaxed and informative style, designed to meet specific industry requirements or a tailor made to individual and organisations specific and varied needs.
The emphasis on every course is to allow delegates to become confident in their skills through a range of theory and practical sessions as well as continuing assessment and feedback from the trainer.
What should you expect from Acorn Health & Safety?
We’ll provide delegates with a variety of printed course materials including workbooks and handouts and on completion of learning, delegates will receive an appropriate certificate.
Post course our team of consultants and trainers are available to answer any questions you might have. You’ll also receive an automatic reminder prior to course expiry.
Our ‘manual handling’ course portfolio is just one group of over 60 courses we offer. Acorn Health & Safety provides training and consultancy in first aid, fire safety, food safety, manual handling, healthcare training and health and safety.
Our ‘in-house’ course programmes are the most cost effective option if you’ve a number of staff requiring training, and in many cases can be adapted to include reference to local policy, practice and documentation. These courses can be delivered either at any suitable venue or you can hire our purpose-built training centre located in Warmley, Bristol, whichever is best suited to your needs.
We also run a rolling programme of ‘open courses’ which are particularly suited for individuals or organisations that only have a few delegates or those looking to release small groups of staff at a time.
