Risk Assessments
Do you have pupils, residents, or staff you need to keep safe?
At Let’s Go Physio, we can assess the client, your environment, and the activities you need support with. Whether it’s accessing the building, the classroom, the playground, the toilet, or the dinner hall, we can help.
We will support you and your staff every step of the way to ensure you are safe and compliant with employment and public liability legislation.
How It Works
We will attend your setting, meet your pupil or client, conduct a thorough risk assessment of current practices, and make recommendations to you and your fund holder.
Our excellent, up-to-date knowledge of moving and handling strategies, equipment, and competitive prices make us the best choice for you and your situation.
Tailored Moving and Handling Training
Following an extensive initial assessment, we can then provide further risk assessments and moving and handling training.
Our train-a trainer physiotherapists are passionate about moving people in a safe, comfortable, and dignified way.
We are also passionate about protecting the caregiver, as we understand how important you are.
Our services include half-day, full-day and bespoke training packages which can be carried out in a one-to-one, or group setting on-site or at our clinic in Nelson.
