How to Embed Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) in Your Social Care Service

---

Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is more than a set of interventions — it’s a whole-service approach that underpins the way you support people with learning disabilities and autism. Commissioners and regulators increasingly expect PBS principles to be embedded, especially where behaviours of concern may arise.

🧠 Why PBS Matters

Embedding PBS in your service offers multiple benefits:

• Improves quality of life for people supported
• Reduces incidents of restrictive practice
• Builds staff skills and confidence
• Demonstrates a proactive, person-centred approach to commissioners and CQC

✅ Practical Ways to Embed PBS

• Ensure staff understand PBS principles through structured training and reflective practice
• Use Positive Behaviour Support Plans (PBSPs) aligned to individual needs and goals
• Embed PBS into risk assessments, care planning, and review processes
• Monitor outcomes to evidence impact and continuous improvement

Embedding PBS isn’t about a one-off intervention — it’s about building a service-wide culture of proactive, respectful, and evidence-based support.
