An individual’s moving and
handling plan can be found in care plan. It is very important to follow each
individual’s moving and handling plan when assisting and moving them. This plan
informs us how we should assist and move specific individual and whether there
is any need for specific equipment or not. If we do not follow their care plan,
then we will remain unaware of this useful information, and can cause an
individual harm or injury.
Assisting and moving individuals require verbal
or non-verbal instructions and interactions. Therefore, we require fully
engaging them when assisting and moving. Failure to do so can result in harm
and injury due to lack of concentration and motivation.
