Non-Verbal Communication in Manual Handling

Non-verbal communication is an inherent capability that is often poorly understood and therefore underused. This course is designed to enable people-handlers firstly to understand the importance of non-verbal cues (e.g. body position, touch, vocal emphasis, eye contact, personal space) and secondly to use these principles in manual handling situations. While it is aimed at all people-handlers, it is anticipated that this course will be of special
interest to those carers with patients/service users with restricted, absent or altered vocal and comprehensive problems, e.g. young children and babies, stroke/ head injury, mental illness.
