Bild’s Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) approach promotes respect, dignity, and full, uncompromising inclusion in all areas of life.

PBS is a human rights-based framework containing many elements of evidence-based good practice: developing capable environments relational working, trauma informed approaches, inclusive communication, building rapport, sensory issues, behavioural science and more. It helps us understand how to best support someone, meet their needs and improve their quality of their life.

Most behaviour has meaning and can be a way of communicating. Behaviour means our actions. PBS uses behavioural science to help us understand what someone might be trying to tell us through their behaviour when they can’t tell us in other ways.  When people are unhappy or distressed because their needs aren’t being met their behaviour, is often labelled as ‘challenging’ – our training gives people the skills to look beyond the behaviour and find the cause of distress. We usually need to make changes to the environment or the support they receive.

PBS should focus on getting to know people really well and building a strong relationship with them. Knowing someone’s needs, preferences, hopes and wishes helps us to understand how to provide good support and to recognise when we’re not getting things right. PBS must always be consented to, person centred and collaborative.

Bild's Positive Behaviour Support is an approach that aims to provide the right support at the right time so people can thrive.
