Positive Behavioural Support (PBS) is an evidence‑based approach designed to improve the quality of life for people whose behaviours may be seen as challenging. This positive behavioural support training session introduces the principles of PBS and explains how proactive strategies can meet individual needs in a respectful and person‑centred way.

The course highlights how PBS can be applied across different settings and age groups, helping staff and carers to reduce restrictive practices, promote independence, and create supportive environments.
