How to Evidence Positive Behaviour Support in Tenders and Inspections


Why PBS Evidence Matters

Commissioners and inspectors expect more than vague statements about Positive Behaviour Support (PBS). They want to see clear, credible evidence that your PBS approach:

  • Reduces restrictive practices
  • Improves quality of life
  • Promotes independence and choice
  • Aligns with national best practice frameworks

This evidence strengthens your position in tenders and inspections, demonstrating that your service delivers meaningful, person-centred outcomes.


What Strong Evidence Looks Like

Consider including:

  • Outcomes data demonstrating reductions in incidents and use of restrictive interventions
  • Case studies showing how PBS improved individuals' lives
  • Staff training records aligned to PBS frameworks
  • Audit reports evidencing consistent application of PBS principles
  • Feedback from people supported, families, and professionals

Embedding Evidence Across Your Organisation

To maintain strong, consistent PBS evidence:

  • Use robust quality assurance processes
  • Integrate PBS outcomes into service reviews and reporting
  • Provide regular staff training and reflective practice opportunities
  • Capture feedback consistently from people supported
