Supporting People | FAQs

How do you help individuals if you work through care providers and schools?

Our role is to work in partnership with the people who support individuals every day: whether that’s a key worker, SENCO, learning support assistant, or residential care manager. 

By equipping those professionals with support, tools, strategies, and confidence, we’re able to create consistent, meaningful change for the individual themselves. It’s about improving quality of life at the source.

Positive Behaviour Support is a person-centred approach that focuses on understanding why behaviours occur, rather than simply trying to stop them. For instance, we’d look at what an individual is communicating through their actions, then develop supportive strategies to meet their needs in positive, proactive ways. Research consistently shows PBS leads to greater independence, reduced restrictive practices, and a happier, more engaged life.

Absolutely. PBS is adaptable to a wide range of needs, whether someone has a learning disability, autism, complex health needs, or no formal diagnosis at all.

Not at all. PBS is central to our work, but our expertise covers a wider spectrum. We also offer functional assessments, staff training, mentoring, environmental adaptations, and ongoing consultancy to embed positive change. 

In other words, PBS can be a foundation, but the toolbox is much bigger.

Both. We can run group training sessions, hands-on workshops, or individual mentoring depending on what will make the biggest impact in your setting. For many clients, a blended approach works best; upskilling the wider team while also giving key staff more intensive coaching.

While every case is unique, many partners tell us they see improvements in individual communication, engagement, and overall calmness in the early stages. Over time, the bigger transformation comes from creating environments where the person feels understood, respected, and able to thrive – and that change is sustainable, because the whole support network is on the same page.

Not at all. While ‘challenging behaviour’ may often be the context, in a wider sense, it’s really about helping anyone work towards a more fulfilling life. That could mean building social skills, increasing independence, supporting mental wellbeing, or improving daily routines.

Simply reach out to us for a conversation. We’ll explore your setting, the individual’s needs, and your team’s priorities. 

From there, we’ll recommend a bespoke support plan that’s realistic, achievable, and designed to make a lasting difference.
