Occupational Competency Assessor Moving and Positioning 3 Day Programme

This programme has been developed to support organisations to build internal capacity for the observation, assessment and development of their own staff.
Skills for Care have produced guidance, titled ‘Ongoing learning and development for adult social care’ which recommend training refresher frequency and the requirement for competency assessment between learning engagements. With the effective implementation of competency assessors, organisations can evidence that they have achieved the recommendations of best practice.
