Positive Behaviour Support Training
Develop the knowledge and confidence to understand behaviours of concern, promote positive outcomes and provide compassionate, person-centred support through practical, face-to-face training.
About This Course
Our Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) training helps learners understand why behaviours of concern may occur and how effective support strategies can improve an individual's quality of life.
First, our experienced trainers introduce the principles of Positive Behaviour Support and explain the importance of understanding behaviour as a form of communication.
Next, learners explore factors that may influence behaviour, including unmet needs, communication difficulties, environmental influences and emotional distress.
Throughout the course, participants examine proactive strategies that promote wellbeing, independence and positive relationships.
In addition, practical workplace scenarios help learners recognise early warning signs, respond appropriately and reduce the likelihood of situations escalating.
As a result, learners develop greater confidence in providing respectful, person-centred support while promoting dignity, choice and individual rights.
Who Is This Course For?
This course suits care workers, support staff, healthcare professionals, senior carers and managers who support individuals displaying behaviours of concern.
It is particularly relevant to professionals working in learning disability services, autism support, mental health and adult social care.
