We aim to deliver least restrictive, restraint-free support. To do this we have developed our own Restraint Reduction Network certified training (https://bildact.org.uk/certified-organisations/) and support most staff to exit this training pathway before learning any physical interventions at all. We have won awards for successful restriction reduction at organisational and personal levels.
Staff Training
MacIntyre’s own PBS training pathway includes PBS Elements, Human Right & Non-Restrictive Strategies, the MacIntyre PBS Leaders programme, bespoke courses and our PBS Special Interest Group. These are linked to the PBS Academy Competency Framework and associated guidance and our PBS Elements course has been peer reviewed via Skills for Care.
MacIntyre recognises that in order to support well, staff need to have good levels of personal wellbeing and resilience. We invest significantly in recognising, rewarding and supporting our staff and are working with the University of Kent Tizard Centre to further improve our support for staff who experience concerning events at work.
