Positive Approaches to Behaviours of Concern

Self-directed PBS training

An easy to manage self-directed PBS programme that gives you all the information and materials to deliver the training to your employees yourself. It gives you the option to run face-to-face sessions for small or large groups (up to 20) or to provide the training remotely, either as a live session or for your employees to study independently.

Self-directed PBS comprises:

Five videos featuring the course designer, Dr David Allen
A workbook and additional exercise materials
A facilitator guide that supports the completion of the course exercises in a group format
The opportunity for participants to email questions to Positive Response
A quiz paper or online automated knowledge test
Certificate of attendance.

How is the training course delivered?

Because this option is presented as videos, rather than PowerPoint, you do not need a PBS trainer to deliver it. The videos are supplied with the presentation by Dr David Allen included. The videos can be paused to complete the exercises and, in a group setting, to allow time for discussion and feedback. The workbook and exercises can be completed on-screen or by using printed copies.

How do we obtain the materials?

The self-directed materials are provided to you on two password-protected webpages on our website. One webpage is for facilitators and the other can be shared with your employees if they are working remotely.

Licence details

The self-directed training programme is licensed annually for you to train employees within your named organisation only and on an unlimited basis therein. Provided you pay the annual renewals, you can continue to use the materials within your organisation. Full details are in the PBS agreement.

Costs for the self-directed option

The initial licence fee is £950 plus VAT plus an annual renewal fee of £150 plus VAT thereafter. As such, it provides a cost-effective means of providing introductory training in PBS for your employees. The renewal licence fee covers continued use of the materials, access to programme updates, access to the Q&A and ongoing hosting. Customers who also use our PBMpro training programme are eligible for a discount of 15% on the initial fee.

summary

"The Positive Approaches PBS training course offers excellent content. It’s a very effective way of delivering a course consistently, across a number of services using different trainers. There is enough room for creating training focused on each of the three sites. Trainer and delegate feedback is excellent. We are very pleased with the training."

“We have seen an 86% reduction in physical interventions since implementing a PBS approach and PBMpro has been a vital part of that. Staff are now much more aware of the importance of having a proactive approach to behaviour management and understanding behaviour in order to support learners effectively.”

“PBMpro is a positive benefit to our company. The theory really focuses on positive behaviour support, not only giving the trainees an insight into how to identify primary prevention but also focusing on secondary prevention and non-physical reactive strategies. We really appreciate the information on trauma and how this also shapes behaviours for individuals we support.
