Positive Behaviour Support

Encouraging autonomy

Understanding Needs, Enabling Independence

At Bramacare, we believe that every individual deserves the opportunity to thrive in their community, regardless of the challenges they face. Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is one of the key approaches we use to help service users with autism or learning disabilities who may display behaviours of concern. These behaviours, which sometimes present risks to themselves or others, are seen as ways individuals try to communicate or meet their needs.

Through our PBS framework, we provide compassionate, person-centred support that promotes independence, safety, and a fulfilling life. By understanding the unique needs of each service user, we work together to create meaningful and lasting changes that reduce behaviours of concern.

TAILORED SUPPORT

How Does PBS Work at Bramacare?

PBS is grounded in the understanding that behaviours serve a purpose in helping individuals meet unmet needs. Our approach combines behavioural science with a deeply personalised care plan for each service user. By assessing the link between behaviours and the individual’s environment, our PBS practitioners collaborate closely with the service user, their family, and other professionals involved in their care.


Together, we develop tailored support plans that reflect the service user’s preferences and aspirations. These plans provide clear guidance for the care team, ensuring that the service user’s choices and goals remain at the centre of their support.
