Collaborative Communities
Collaborative Communities
Our communities of practice bring together professionals, people with lived experience, families and carers, and provide a supportive space to share ideas and experiences. As communities, we think together to develop the latest sector knowledge and discuss how knowledge can be practically translated into practice.

The Bild CAPBS Coaches Network
Implementing the principles of Positive Behaviour Support in practice can often be challenging, particularly when it involves changing an entire workplace culture. This community of practice was set up to encourage BILD PBS Coaches who have completed the Coaches Programme to share how they are putting PBS principles into practice, help one another through challenges, share resources and celebrate success.
The UK PBS Alliance
The UK Positive Behaviour Support Alliance is a partnership of organisations focused on improving the quality of life of people whose behaviour may challenge services and those providing support.
The Restraint Reduction Network Community of Practice
The Care Quality Commission says that the high level of physical restraint in services is one of their key concerns. The Restraint Reduction Network brings together people with lived experience, family members, organisations and policy leads who are committed to reducing restraint in services providing education, health and social care services to people whose behaviour may be challenging. This group is a vibrant community actively thinking together about how to put the latest sector knowledge and guidance into practice effectively.
The Greater Manchester Community of Practice
We have collaborated with the Greater Manchester Transforming Care Partnership with a view to see PBS implemented throughout the whole of Greater Manchester. This community of practice brings together service providers, service users, health and social care professionals, policy leads, academics and others involved with PBS to help one another implement PBS in practice and promote a PBS approach throughout Greater Manchester.
