Frequently Asked Questions
Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is a person-centred approach that aims to understand and reduce challenging behaviour, improve quality of life, and promote positive outcomes through proactive support.
Behaviours of concern may include aggression, self-injury, withdrawal, shouting or other actions that create risk or distress. Understanding triggers can support effective behaviour management.
De-escalation techniques help reduce distress and prevent situations from becoming a crisis. They include calm communication, active listening, reducing triggers and giving the person appropriate space.
A behaviour support plan is a personalised plan that identifies triggers, communication needs, proactive strategies and responses to challenging behaviour. It supports consistent, person-centred care.
Post-incident review helps staff understand what happened, identify triggers, evaluate responses and improve future support. Accurate recording and outcome evaluation strengthen Positive Behaviour Support.
