To ensure quality and focus\, each individual may only be a Champion in up to two topic areas: \nThe Adult Disability Positive Behaviour Support CHAMPION course will enable Care professionals to take on the role of Champion within their organisation for this topic. The Champion will have a clear understanding of local and national guidance and legislation for and will cascade this information amongst care teams\, improving the safety and quality of care for individuals. \nLearning Outcomes:\n• Define the role of a Positive Behaviour Support Champion and explain how this role benefits their organisation by promoting safe\, person-centred care.\n• Explain the context and principles of the Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) model\, including the key characteristics that underpin effective PBS.\n• Define the term ‘behaviours that challenge’ and recognise the contexts in which these behaviours may occur.\n• Apply the SMART goal-setting process to develop and monitor PBS plans relevant to their workplace.\n• Outline how to contribute to a functional analysis of an individual’s behaviours to better understand triggers.\n• Demonstrate how to implement prevention strategies that proactively reduce the likelihood of behaviours that challenge.\n• Use a person-centred approach to develop PBS plans that promote meaningful participation and wellbeing.\n• Describe and implement secondary prevention strategies designed to manage behaviours before escalation.\n• Explain how to implement strategies to safely respond to behaviours that challenge\, ensuring dignity and respect.\n• Develop a SMART goal-driven action plan to embed positive behaviour support principles within their service\, promoting consistency and positive outcomes. \nFind out more and apply here \nNote – This is an application\, not a booking.
