Posted By Zoe Barnett Try contacting Centaur Training on 01642 478478. They specialise in manual handling training for carers, especially those working with people who have special needs. I don't know if they just do training courses or if they also produce material but it's worth a go.

Posted By Nigel Hammond Hi Mole Go to the website www.teamtoons.co.uk You can buy a CDrom full of funny health & safety clipart. Lots of it is bordering on bad taste but if you have a slightly sick sense of humour like me you should find them funny! They help to break down the dry serious image of health & safety but some people may be offended. Some people have criticised me for triviallising health & safety while others have welcomed the fact that by using funny pictures, I am making it more accessible. I work for an organisation that runs care homes for people with learning disabilities and I find many of the manual handling images useful for my presentations and guidance material. Regards Nigel
