How to Embed Proactive PBS Strategies in Daily Practice

Proactive PBS strategies can’t sit in a care plan untouched. They need to live in the rhythms, routines, and relationships of daily support.


🧩 Integration, Not Addition

Too often, proactive PBS strategies are treated as a separate ‘intervention.’ But they’re most powerful when woven into the everyday. For example:

  • Staff know and follow a predictable morning routine that works for the person
  • Communication tools are available — and used — throughout the day
  • Triggers are anticipated and adjustments made in real time
  • Staff reflect together on what worked and what didn’t

This isn’t about extra tasks — it’s about intention in the way support is delivered.


👥 Team Understanding is Key

Proactive strategies only work if everyone understands them. Make sure:

  • They’re discussed regularly in team meetings and supervision
  • New staff are inducted into the person’s preferred routines and supports
  • Changes are explained clearly — not just emailed and forgotten

Consistency builds confidence — in both the person and the team.


📣 Talk About It in Tenders

When writing tender responses or preparing for CQC inspections, include:

  • How proactive strategies are reviewed and updated
  • How learning from incidents informs daily practice
  • How family input helps refine support

Embedding PBS means living it — not just listing it.
