Written answers
There are no plans by my Department to introduce manual handling training in schools.
My Department's teacher education section has, through the education centre network, approved and funded a number of health and safety related courses for teachers in the context of its summer course programme in 2004. The teacher education section also provides funding to education centres for the provision of courses to meet locally identified priority needs which may also include courses for teachers covering the area of health and safety.
