Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) Training – Online Course

What if the behaviour isn’t the problem… but the message? Every behaviour tells a story. Behind every behaviour of concern is a person trying to communicate a need, express an emotion, avoid discomfort or make sense of the world around them. Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) helps us stop asking “How do we stop this behaviour?” and start asking “Why is this happening, and how can we help?” Our Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) Training course has been designed to give healthcare professionals, carers, support workers and educators the knowledge, confidence and practical strategies to understand behaviour, improve quality of life and reduce the need for restrictive practices. Built around current UK legislation, national guidance and person centred best practice, this course demonstrates why PBS has become the gold standard approach for supporting people with learning disabilities, autism, mental health conditions, dementia and anyone who may display behaviours of concern. Why Choose This Course? Positive Behaviour Support isn’t about changing people. It’s about changing environments, improving communication, understanding unmet needs and creating opportunities for people to succeed. Rather than reacting to behaviour when things reach crisis point, PBS encourages proactive, preventative and compassionate approaches that place the individual firmly at the centre of every decision. Throughout this engaging course you’ll discover why behaviour happens, how to identify triggers and functions of behaviour, develop meaningful PBS plans, promote Active Support, and build environments where people feel safe, valued and understood. Because when people feel understood, behaviours often begin to change naturally.
