Attendees particularly value the trainers’ strong PBS expertise and engaging, personable delivery, with clear explanations, practical examples and lively discussion helping them understand human behaviour and question existing practice. They describe the course as detailed, relevant and easy to follow, leaving them more confident to develop PBS plans and apply positive strategies with individuals, staff and teams. Some find the volume of content fast-paced and would welcome more time, while several suggest better-aligned slides and more workbook space.

About this course
This two-day course has been designed to look at developing an awareness of what Positive Behaviour Support is. Its aim is to equip those who attend with an understanding of the basic elements of PBS, how it can be applied and some of the basic skills required to deliver a PBS framework.
The second day of the training looks to develop the basic skills looked at on day one and then to develop these skills in a more service-specific way so that the staff team can learn to develop effective person centred, positive support within a PBS framework.
This course is for a wide variety of people who work in the health and social care or education sectors. It could include support staff, residential staff, teachers, nurses, social workers and/or parents and carers.
