Explain why it is important to have specialist training before assisting and moving an individual


Understand the principles of assisting and moving  an individual

Without specialist training we would not be able to assist and move an individual safely as we are unaware of safer moving methods and techniques. We will also not be able to recognise equipment, operations and its purposes. If we assist and move an individual without specialist training, then we may cause harm and injury to an individual as well as ourselves. According to legislations, we should not undertake any tasks if we are incompetent.
