The place where the positive
behaviour support community gathers... BILD's PBS International PBS
Research and Practice Conference in Glasgow last year
|
BILD’S INTERNATIONAL PBS RESEARCH AND PRACTICE
Conference is the leading PBS event in the UK calendar – the place where
the positive behaviour support community gathers. This year’s
conference, being held in Dublin between 6-8 May 2015, will be bigger and
better than ever.
Academics and PBS practitioners,
those commissioning support and those providing support, come together at
this conference to hear the latest developments in PBS research and
evidence-based practice from an outstanding line up of keynote speakers,
with leading international speakers contributing global perspectives.
|
|
Delegates share their own
experiences and discuss good practice approaches in Glasgow last year
|
|
|
The conference workshops facilitate the exchange
of experiences and discussion around good practice, as advanced PBS
practitioners present their work, and explore new PBS approaches and
tools.
There are lots of opportunities for delegates and
facilitators to network, collaborate and reflect on their personal and
organisational practice.
|
|
The underlying theme of the sixth BILD PBS
International Research and Practice Conference will be human rights
perspectives on the use of restrictive practices, and how these should
influence local PBS practice.
The pace of developments in the field
of positive behaviour support over the last two years highlights the need
to critically evaluate how PBS is being applied at the most local level -
at the point of support for the individual, and how we can best ensure
that evidence based practice becomes everyone’s daily practice.
The aim of the conference is to ensure we support
every individual in person centred ways and that the organisations and
individuals providing that support learn skills and adopt approaches that
reduce reliance on restrictive practices within a human rights framework.

"It was good to hear
speakers critically look at PBS... the quality, experience and
knowledge of all the speakers was very high..."
|
|
|
Delegates at last year’s conference said they
enjoyed:
“The breadth of experience of the
speakers working to promote PBS, signposting to and chatting with other
organisations, also enjoyed the friendly, welcoming nature of BILD
staff.”
“The conference has provided a wealth of
information regards PBS. It was good to hear speakers critically look
at PBS and at getting PBS right.”
|
|
“The whole conference was extremely well organised.
The quality, experience and knowledge of all guest speakers was very
high. Thought provoking presentations with a motivation to make
appropriate changes.”
“The enthusiasm of other participants, including
the presenters. It’s always good to network and find out what is
happening elsewhere in the UK and worldwide.”
