Are Your Staff Just Trained or Truly Confident? PBS Training in Learning Disability Bids
Training alone doesn’t create confidence. What commissioners want to see is that your staff know how to apply PBS — especially in challenging, high-pressure situations where behaviour is communication.
🔍 It’s About Confidence, Not Just Certificates
Ask yourself:
- Would a staff member know what to do if someone began showing signs of distress?
- Could they explain why their response matters — and how it fits into your PBS approach?
These aren’t theoretical questions. In learning disability tenders, commissioners want to see real-world understanding and preparedness.
🧠 Build Knowledge Through Practice
Make sure your PBS training includes practical components like:
- Scenario-based learning and discussion
- Roleplay of early intervention strategies
- Post-incident reflection sessions
Confidence comes from repetition and feedback — not a one-off session. Reinforce PBS principles in team meetings, supervision, and ongoing CPD.
✍️ Evidence of Confidence in Bids
In learning disability tenders, describe how you move beyond 'training completed' to ‘training embedded’. For example:
- Staff confidence checks or peer observations
- Use of PBS mentors or champions in the team
- Examples of staff applying PBS successfully in a crisis
🎯 Prove PBS Is Part of Your Culture
To commissioners, confidence means safety. When staff feel equipped and trusted to act, they’re more likely to prevent incidents — not just react to them. Make this culture visible in your tender responses.
