Description

BHR and Waltham Forest CCG's are seeking to commission a Positive Behaviour Support Service (PBS) (Training) across the BHR and Waltham Forest area.

Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) is an approach to supporting individuals that is based on a thorough functional assessment and an understanding of their behaviour. PBS takes the form of a PBS plan, developed by a qualified professional, which sets out proactive, active and reactive strategies to reduce behaviours that challenge and improve an individual's quality of life.

The NHS Long Term Plan sets out a commitment to continue to improve local services for people with learning disability and autism, and to ensure that any community support offer includes the right tools for people to be supported in their own homes. As PBS is a key part of this offer, Barking & Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge and Waltham Forest CCG's wish to commission a PBS training service to work with professionals, patients and families within the boroughs.

Confirm your organisation is able to demonstrate established relationships with Community Learning Disability Teams, Local Authorities i.e. Social Care, Education, and services within the relevant health population footprint, to enable appropriate flow and pathway management.

Confirm your organisations training meets the standards of the PBS Competency Framework and Improving the quality of Positive Behavioural Support (PBS).

Confirm your organisation has a recognised training endorsement in place. Confirm staff within your organisation delivering the learning will also hold accredited qualifications in positive behaviour support or behaviour analysis (such as a professional diploma or certification in PBS, BSc PBS, MSc Applied Behaviour Analysis/PBS or equivalent).

Confirm your organisation will be able to commence the service from 1 June 2021.
