Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is the most valuable tool when dealing with behaviours of concern and is the primary route to ensuring restraint reduction.

PBS training gives staff skills to:

• free people from harmful and challenging behaviours
• change the way such behaviours are viewed by others
• develop skills and knowledge to improve the way your service users live their lives

Delegates will learn how to develop positive proactive strategies to support their service users and prevent challenging behaviours before they occur.

They will learn and about and understand the PBS Competency Framework, assessments, evaluations and planning, on both a proactive and reactive basis.
