Kate Strutt

Redstone PBS was founded in 2012 by Kate Strutt, a dedicated Clinical Psychologist with 14 years of experience working in Community Learning Disability Teams. Driven by her understanding and comittment, Kate recognised that Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) held the transformative potential for people at risk of behaviours of concern, making a big difference in their lives.

Determined to develop Redstone, Kate sought guidance from renowned mentors in the PBS field and pursued a Master’s degree in Applied Behaviour Analysis—the behavioral science at the heart of PBS.

Redstone PBS has earned a reputation as a values-driven, evidence-based business providing both high quality training and consultancy.

In October 2026 Redstone became part of a larger company, Positive Support Group (PSG).  Redstone and PSG bring together a range of expertise across both training programmes and a range of consultancy offers. We have practitioners whose experience is wide ranging from working directly in providers services, for NHS bodies, with families and schools. Many of our combined team have higher level qualifications in PBS. The values and practice of PBS continues to guide the whole team every day.

Our PBS Values

At Redstone, our values align closely with the Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) approach—not just in how we support individuals but also in how we collaborate with organisations, staff teams, and families.

PBS blends evidence-based behavioural strategies with the principles of human rights, normalisation, and person-centred support. For people we support, our goal is to improve quality of life by fostering adaptive behaviours and opening up new, positive life opportunities. Importantly, we firmly oppose aversive interventions, as they go against the core values of PBS.

Our commitment extends to families, staff teams, and organsations, where we focus on building practical skills and deepening knowledge, ensuring everyone has the tools they need to make a meaningful difference.

Our Mission

Our mission is to deliver exceptional products, training, and consultancy in Positive Behaviour Support (PBS), empowering services for children and adults alike to become places of practice excellence. 

Through our approach, we aim to:

  • Enhance staff skills and job satisfaction,
  • Elevate the overall quality of life for individuals with additional needs,
  • Minimise behaviours of concern, and
  • Reduce reliance on restrictive practices.

By embedding PBS at every level—organisational, staff, and individual—we enable services to achieve outstanding highest standards of care and support.
