What is Positive Behaviour Support
Positive Behaviour?
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) has become the most influential framework in assisting people to manage their distress. @pbs.training we are here to support those family and support carers who do not get the PBS training they need.
PBS has a proven track record and a solid evidence base. PBS is the defacto model for working with challenging behaviour, behaviour that challenges those who care for / support the individual.
However this has led to carers stating that they are using Positive Behaviour Support when in fact they are not working within the framework or are only achieving part of the process.
This is the main reason that it is important to have a qualified training provider, we have teamed with Family Support Project to deliver the high quality support you deserve.
There are 10 key points to the PBS Framework, split into 3 sections:
Values
Prevention and reduction of challenging behaviour occurs within the context of increased quality of life, inclusion, participation, and the defence and support of valued social roles
Constructional approaches to intervention design build stakeholder skills and opportunities and reject aversive and restrictive practices
Stakeholder participation informs, implements and validates assessment and intervention practices
Theory & Evidence Base
An understanding that challenging behaviour develops to serve important functions for people
The primary use of constructional principles and procedures from behaviour analysis to assess and support behaviour change
The secondary use of other complementary, evidence-based approaches to support behaviour change at multiple levels of a system
Process
A data-driven approach to decision making at every stage
Functional assessment to inform function-based intervention
Multicomponent interventions to change behaviour (proactively) and manage behaviour (reactively)
Implementation support, monitoring and evaluation of interventions over the long term

We are a small group of people who are all committed to improving human relationships through assisting those who support individuals to improve people's quality of life.
Developing Positive Behaviour Support help improves human interactions, relationships and helps us all lead fulfilling lives.
Reduce concerning behaviour through developing skills where a skills deficit exists or supporter skills to deepen relationships.
