The falls prevention training is aimed at anyone caring for an elderly person or it might be of benefit to yourself. It goes over the importance of falls prevention and some good resources to help. The training will explain the super 6 strength and balance exercises which can be done with someone and will also show how to get up from the floor if your or the person you care for aren't hurt. The resources cover a range of different abilities, so there will be chair based exercises or more in depth exercises. The training is informal and will be completed online, preferably as a group.
