Human Rights, Not Just Behaviour Charts: Embedding PBS Principles in Daily Practice

PBS starts with rights β€” not with behaviour charts. If your support isn’t grounded in dignity and respect, it doesn’t matter how detailed your plans are. The principles must live in daily practice, not just in documents.


🏠 Where PBS Principles Show Up Daily

Look at your routines. Are people:

  • πŸ—£οΈ Involved in decisions that affect them?
  • πŸ‘£ Supported to make choices, take risks, and grow?
  • πŸ“… Given structure that builds predictability, not control?
  • πŸ’¬ Encouraged to express themselves in ways that are understood?

Real PBS is proactive, empowering, and relational β€” not reactive or restrictive.


πŸ“‹ Staff Culture and Practice

PBS principles should shape how staff:

  • 🧠 Reflect on their own reactions and emotional responses
  • πŸ§β™‚οΈ Support people through change, stress, or anxiety
  • πŸ’ͺ Recognise trauma and provide psychologically safe environments
  • πŸ“ Use language that respects, not labels

It’s not just what you do β€” it’s how you do it.
