Why Environment Matters in Positive Behaviour Support

Environment isn’t just a backdrop β€” it’s a trigger, a support, and a signal of respect. In Positive Behaviour Support (PBS), the physical and emotional environment can either escalate or de-escalate behaviour. That’s why it’s so central to PBS planning β€” and to tender responses.


🌿 What Makes an Enabling Environment?

  • Clear, calming layouts that reduce confusion and overstimulation
  • Personalised spaces that reflect individual needs and preferences
  • Accessible features β€” visual prompts, sensory supports, adaptive equipment
  • Staff who model calm and respect through their presence and communication

πŸ“„ What to Say in Tenders

Describe how your environment supports communication, safety, autonomy, and emotional wellbeing. Don’t just say β€œwe provide a safe space” β€” show how and why it matters to the person.
