Brandon Trust supports a number of tenants who require staff to be trained in Positive Behaviour Management to enable them to live the lives they choose. This includes being an active part of their community.
We have also found that many staff benefit from a theory day based around the environment in which they work. Although the staff may not work directly with people who communicate through their behaviour, having an understanding of why people may display certain behaviours has been invaluable in the writing of support plans and risk assessments.
Brandon Trust currently has three PBM trainers in Cornwall with another two currently being trained through Positive Response.
We have found Positive Response to be very supportive in regards to behaviours and they have demonstrated a willingness to meet with our trainers to discuss areas of concerns within the behavioural framework.
