Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) has become the most influential framework in assisting people to manage their distress.
Positive Behaviour Support is backed by a solid evidence base. Organisations such as Skills for Care, NICE and the Britich Institute of Learning Disabilities have PBS at the core of their literature and practice.
BILD Accreditation, covering the fourth edition of their Code of Practice, places PBS at the heart of all training delivery. Therefore it is important that carers get real PBS from a BILD Accredited Organisation. Our preferred training partner is outlined at the bottom of this page.
