Explain why specific tasks should only be carried out with special training

Understand the different responsibilities relating to health and safety in social care settings
Training is very important before carrying out any tasks, as it gives us in-depth information, instruction and guidance about the task, and also informs us current laws and legislation should be followed. Some training also provides practical demonstration, which can help us to learn how exactly the specific task should be carried out. If we undertake any special task without training, then we may cause harm or injury to an individual and ourselves as we would not have enough information about the specific task.

In health and social care sector, we should not undertake or deal with any task if we are not competent as it is a big public concern. It is also against law and legislations to carry out any task without training, which requires special training. We have to undertake moving and handling training before moving and handling patient and object. Purpose of this training is to provide knowledge and demonstration, about how to move and handle patient and unanimated object, without causing harm and injury to an individual and ourselves.
