This film was written and presented by John Crosbie, the centre Director of the Calvert Trust, Lake District. He noticed there was a need for a film that gave a step-by-step demonstration of how to move and handle people, with limited mobility, in the outdoor environment. By using simple guidlines like TILE, (Task, Individual, Load, & Environment), and incorporating useful tips from John and a team of trainers & experts, this film designed to assist and protect both the lifter and person being lifted, whether you are a large outdoor training centre or small group of friends wanting to create access into the outdoors for a friend with limited mobilty.
