Overview

From the Paper:

"These were verbally related to the students via the lesson plan. The aim of the lesson was to enable all the students to understand the fundamentals of the moving and handling procedure, lifting techniques, and how to use them correctly, and also diagrams on what parts of the body were involved when moving and handling either a person or an object correctly. I found the teacher to be very clear and informative, delivering constructive guidance throughout the session."
