Positive behaviour support

All+three+-+picture+frame.jpg

At Link Support we use Positive Behaviour Support to help people improve their quality of life, by reducing challenging behaviour and aiming to minimize the need for physical interventions as a management strategy.

Our approach combines years of experience of applying best practice techniques including PROACT-SCIPr-UK®,   NICE guidance and the PBS Competence Framework. We have a certified PROACT-SCIPr-UK® instructor who trains staff, develops and monitors all aspects of PBS in our services.

 What is PBS?

Positive Behaviour Support is a person-centred approach to people with a learning disability who may be at risk of displaying challenging behaviours. 

  • It is backed by evidence from behavioural science

  • Provides support based on inclusion, choice, participation and equality of opportunity

What are the key principles?

PBS seeks to understand the reasons for behavior so that unmet needs can be met.

  • Considers the person as a whole including their life history, physical health, environmental factors and emotional needs

  • It is proactive focusing on teaching of new skills to replace behaviors that challenge

  • Seeks input from all individuals involved in support including allied health and social care professionals.
