Former Member

I'm curious, do all mental health workers including support and social workers get trained in first aid, mobility assistance etc?

Is mobility assistance part of manual handling? And to be honest that looks like a course list that's common to almost all care service providers, not just mental health or even not just healthcare. For example, I know care home workers do a very similar set of training courses to that too.
