Bild certified PBM training

For the prevention and management of behaviours of concern in learning disability, autism, mental health, acquired brain injury and dementia services.

Positive Behaviour Management Pro (PBMpro)

PBMpro is more than a physical intervention package. Its implementation, particularly when used to dovetail with Positive Behaviour Support, will help transform your organisation’s approach towards reducing restrictive practices. The key benefits of using our PBM training include:

Security: PBMpro training is Bild certified and fully compliant with the Restraint Reduction Network RRN Training Standards
Safety: PBMpro does NOT use pain-based physical interventions, and all techniques are biomechanically risk assessed
Reassurance: for staff and stakeholders that your training is provided by a reputable, experienced provider

PBMpro is an ethical, research-based PBM training programme focused on cultural change and imbued with a commitment to respect for vulnerable people being supported (see Ethical Approaches to Physical Interventions). It began as, and remains, a pioneering method which rejects the use of punishment approaches.

PBMpro has been a powerful influence in shaping staff attitudes and improving the quality of life of vulnerable people in services who are at risk of restrictive practice (see Reducing the Use of Restrictive Practices). We take pride in training staff to the highest possible standards without cutting corners.

PBMpro addresses all parts of a PBS plan

Primary prevention: identifying and proactively addressing risk factors in relation to behaviours of concern
Secondary prevention: changing the course of already triggered behavioural episodes through prompt intervention
Reactive strategies: PBM training provides ethical and safe approaches to behaviours of concern which may not be preventable and require physical techniques. These include:
– Self-protection and breakaway techniques
– Low level removals
– Removal holds for high distress or dangerous situations
– Clinical holding techniques
– Bespoke techniques for a range of challenging scenarios
– Pod-based holding techniques
