Registration now open: Bild International PBS Conference 2024 

 

Bild is delighted to announce that early bird registration is now open for this year’s International Positive Behaviour Support Conference, Shifting the narrative: Improving lives through practice leadership in PBS.  

Taking place at the Liverpool Hilton on 16-17th May, early bird discounts are available until 23 February 2024. You can book your place on the conference website here.  

About the conference 

PBS is often viewed as a crisis intervention rather than a preventative framework. Bild believes that PBS is most effective when it focuses on getting support right for the individual, preventing distress and avoiding someone reaching crisis point.  

This hybrid event will feature keynotes from international speakers including experts by experience, PBS practitioners, professionals and academics, exploring shifting this narrative from crisis to prevention. There will also be a range of practical workshops available to delegates, focused on supporting learning and developing practice, and ample opportunities to network and discuss current issues.  

Over two days, the programme will explore: 

• The vital role of Practice Leaders in setting and modelling service culture. 
• The importance of good quality tier one support including: 
  • Good communication 
  • Active support 
  • Challenging health inequalities 
  • Psychological wellbeing. 

• The importance of developing capable environments to prevent distress and restrictive practices. 
• The role of language: how we talk and refer to people can have significant influence our interactions, empowering or distressing, promote relationships or distancing them.  
• Ensuring PBS isn’t ‘measuring the misery’ but focused on getting support right for people. 

We are pleased to once again offer a hybrid event, offering delegates the option to join us either in-person in Liverpool or to participate remotely with an online booking.  

Take advantage of the early bird discounts, available until 23 February 2024.
