The “Introduction to Positive Behaviour Support Training” course provides a comprehensive understanding of Positive Behaviour Support (PBS), an evidence-based approach for managing challenging behaviours in individuals with disabilities. PBS aims to improve the quality of life for both the individuals receiving support and those around them. The course covers the ethical and legal frameworks that guide PBS practices, ensuring that all interventions are person-centred and respect the dignity and autonomy of the individuals involved.

Through eight detailed lessons, participants will learn to identify and address the root causes of challenging behaviours, implement and monitor effective support strategies, and respond appropriately to critical incidents. The course emphasises the importance of continuous consultation, data-driven decision-making, and collaboration with supervisors to ensure the ongoing effectiveness of behavioural support plans. By mastering these skills, disability support workers can provide more effective, empathetic, and ethical support, fostering a more inclusive and respectful environment for all.
