I have found the course so useful, so many new tools to use for functional behaviour assessment that we haven’t seen before, and which are really helpful for completing assessments and planning interventions.
The training has supported me to take a step back, and clearly identify what we are currently doing well along with areas for improvement. It has also enabled me to produce an action plan that I will be adding to the services improvement plan and clear toolkits to enable us to coach and mentor our teams and improve our practices as well as reducing incidents
The training strips your understanding right back to before an incident, it puts you in an individual’s shoes so you can understand and empathise how someone is feeling … Looking at quality of life and the impact poor quality can have on a person. All of our services will benefit from having this training.
The feedback we received from all the ‘Practice Leads’ was how helpful they found it and how much they enjoyed it. As observers of each course, we felt the training was easy to understand, very relatable to everyday practice, whilst addressing some of the challenges staff and services may face along the way. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this training to other organisations looking for good quality PBS training.
Without PBS Champion…. to try and drill down to actually manually go through paper documents would be very time consuming, and even then, you might miss something.But also local authorities can’t argue with certain things. It’s very, very factual. There’s no room for I think this or I think that. You can say, we did consider days of the week, and then you can just push the button and there’s the days of the week; or we did think this, but the actual reality, the facts are showing this. So you can’t argue with those, can you? It’s not subjective. It’s very, very factual.
