What is "Behaviour of Concern"

MacIntyre uses the terms behaviour of concern, distress and changed behaviour depending on the person and the situation.

Behaviour of Concern as Communication

We view behaviour as a way of communicating and work hard to understand the message, listen to people and look for a solution.

Staff Training

Our PBS training includes PBS Elements, Human Right & Non-Restrictive Strategies, the MacIntyre PBS Leaders programme and bespoke courses.

Intensive PBS Support

MacIntyre has a team of seven specialist Lead PBS Coaches and a Head of PBS.

PBS in Children and Young People Services

Our community-based No Limits education provisions, our school, our children’s homes and our academies each work within the MacIntyre framework.

PBS in Specialist Support and Transforming Care Services

Our dedicated Lead PBS Coach for Specialist Services works closely with these teams.

Positive Behaviour Support

A Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) approach involves focusing on improving a person’s quality of life and understanding the reasons behind any behaviours.
