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

evidence based and can achieve real change and outcomes. 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
