How PBS Improves Outcomes for People, Providers, and Commissioners
Why Outcomes Matter in PBS
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) isn’t simply about reducing challenging behaviour — it’s about improving quality of life. When PBS is done well, everyone benefits:
- People experience more choice, control, and independence
- Providers build stronger reputations and relationships
- Commissioners see better outcomes and greater value for money
Outcomes for People Supported
- Fewer restrictive interventions and reactive strategies
- Greater inclusion and access to meaningful activities
- Stronger personal relationships and community links
- More independence and control over daily life
Commissioners expect to see these benefits reflected clearly in your tenders — through outcomes data, case studies, and feedback from people supported.
Outcomes for Providers
- Strengthened reputation as a values-led, person-centred provider
- Improved staff confidence, retention, and job satisfaction
- Stronger evidence for future tenders and inspections
- More opportunities through commissioner relationships and networks
Embedding PBS well doesn’t just improve care — it positions your organisation to grow through stronger tenders and partnerships.
Outcomes for Commissioners
- Better long-term outcomes for people supported
- Reduction in reliance on high-cost, crisis services
- Improved quality assurance and contract performance
- Stronger partnerships with trusted providers
Commissioners are increasingly looking for this evidence of impact in tenders, so your responses must highlight how PBS supports their priorities.
