Positive Behaviour Support
Duration 1 Day
Incidents of challenging behaviour in care settings can result in harm to staff, distress for the service users, and potential legal or regulatory consequences for employers who fail to provide adequate training. Employers have a duty of care under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Care Act 2014 to ensure safe, person-centred support that minimises restrictive practices and promotes wellbeing.
Course Overview
Central Training's Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) course offers a clear, evidence-based framework for understanding and responding to behaviours of concern. It explores the underlying causes of challenging behaviour and provides practical strategies to prevent incidents, encourage positive alternatives, and ensure the safety of both staff and service users. Rooted in the principle of improving quality of life, PBS supports teams to build compassionate, supportive environments where everyone can thrive.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course, delegates will have covered:
· What contributes to and causes challenging behaviour
· How to promote positive behaviour
· Key points from the Mental Capacity Act 2005 and national policy
· How behaviour escalates and what to do as it does
· Policy and principles of restriction and physical intervention
· The importance of controlling our own behaviour

Methods of Delivery
This course will consist of PowerPoint presentation, discussion, group work and self-directed learning to ensure that all course outcomes are met, while providing a safe, open forum for delegates to exchange views and best practice.
