Specialist support

Positive behaviour support

Behaviour communicates something. Positive behaviour support starts with understanding the person, their environment and unmet needs, not control or punishment.

The approach

Understand triggers, communication and sensory needs
Build predictable routines and meaningful activity
Teach and support safer ways to communicate needs
Review plans with the person, family and relevant professionals

Restrictive practice

Any restriction must be lawful, necessary, proportionate and the least restrictive option. It is never a default response.
