Positive Behaviour Support (PBS)

Positive Behaviour Support training helps us understand the reasons for behaviours, so we can better meet people's needs, enhance their quality of life & reduce the likelihood of the behaviour happening.

This training will teach learners how to develop positive proactive strategies to support their service users.
