How PBS Improves Outcomes for People, Providers, and Commissioners

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.
