About PBS

What is Positive Behaviour Support?

The Positive Behaviour Support approach focuses on the individual's needs being at the centre of any intervention strategies. Interventions are only considered successful once they lead to measurable changes in the person's quality of life.

This includes skill development and enhancement of positive social interactions across work, school, recreational and community settings — as well as a reduction in behaviours of concern.

Both courses on this page are eligible for LDSS funding and are Skills for Care Quality Assured Care Learning, delivered in partnership with our specialist training partner.
