Stage 1: Building Awareness and Understanding

The first stage involves 1:1 awareness sessions with each support worker. These sessions include a bespoke test, completed via the University of Wales, to provide a basic understanding of PBS. Each individual must pass this test. These sessions are generally 2 hours long and can be scheduled at convenient times for all parties.

Stage 2: Active Support Training and Competency Assessment

The second stage requires completion of active support training and being signed off as competent following observations.

Stage 3: Full Day Training on Values and Practice

The third stage consists of a full day training session covering values, human rights, rapport building, and kindness. It also includes an introduction to understanding the function of behaviour and planning support in a person-centred way. A short written test follows this day, which must be passed to progress to the next stage.

Stage 4: Advanced Training on PBS Principles

The fourth stage is another full day’s training session covering topics such as am I doing PBS?, providing a capable environment, and the principles of least restrictive practice. This interactive group session is followed by a short written test, which must be passed to complete the course.
