Person centred positive behaviour support
Conference: 27 November 2009 – venue to be confirmed, Midlands


A one day event that will enable practitioners to explore a range of related topics from varying perspectives.

It is a positive alternative for those people who may at times have exhibited behaviour that has challenged services.

This event will highlight the experiences of individuals, families and professionals and enable delegates to explore how to put theory into practice. The day will use real life examples to explore how we can support people and work with them to improve the quality of their lives. The day will place emphasis on the importance of communication, relationships and valuable experiences for supporting people to develop and progress.
