Positive Behavioural Support

Positive Behavioural Support is the most up-to-date evidence based set of procedures for working effectively with people with learning disabilities and challenging behaviour. It is an ethically-based, person-centred technology to translate contemporary service values into action. Its ability to reduce challenging behaviour and enhance quality of life has been demonstrated repeatedly in research but training has been hard to access until now.

Positive Behavioural Support with its strong values base, data-led practice, emphasis on ecological and antecedent interventions and focus on improved quality of life outcomes at its centre is a key component of restraint reduction.
