The Heart of PBS: Why Values Matter More Than Techniques
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) isn’t defined by techniques — it’s defined by values. You can’t deliver PBS unless your service culture respects people’s rights, promotes dignity, and sees behaviour as communication.
🧭 The Core Principles of PBS
- ⭐ Promoting quality of life, not just reducing behaviours
- 🧠 Understanding behaviour as meaningful, not disruptive
- 💬 Seeing communication behind every behaviour
- 🤝 Building trust and positive relationships
- 📉 Reducing restrictive interventions
These values should underpin every support plan, staff interaction, and strategic decision. PBS isn’t a toolkit you apply — it’s a culture you live.
🎯 What Commissioners Look For
In tenders, it’s not enough to list techniques like ABC charts or proactive strategies. Commissioners want to know:
- That your values are embedded in training and supervision
- That your staff understand human rights and communication needs
- That your model is co-produced and trauma-informed
Start with values — then build your strategies around them.
