The emphasis is on preventive work and good practice – not on physical intervention.

What can we do for you?
Positive Response offers a consultancy service which encourages organisations to work in partnership with us to explore solutions to problematic situations and to reduce the need for more restrictive interventions. The aim is to explore the causative and maintaining factors for the challenging behaviours and to reduce their impact and the likelihood of these behaviours occurring using the least restrictive approaches. Training in Positive Behaviour Management training may be provided where the level of risk posed is increased. Whilst it is acknowledged that physical interventions may be included in some individuals’ support packages, Positive Response delivers training with a focus on an agenda of ‘Restraint Reduction’ and strongly advocates for a move away from training care staff in purely reactive strategies to a system of Positive Behavioural Support.
The BILD accredited Positive Behaviour Management training programme is one of the few reactive strategy training approaches to have any accompanying research into its effectiveness. It is designed for staff working with adults or children with learning disabilities, autistic spectrum disorders or acquired brain injury.
