New Positive Behavioural Support Resources from the PBS Academy

New Positive Behavioural Support Resources from the PBS Academy

2016 brings with it the publication of the new Positive Behavioural Support Resources, a new name for the PBS Coalition and a new website!

We have been busy!

Since our last blog in September we have decided to informally establish the PBS Academy and have set up a website to disseminate the PBS Competence Framework and new resources www.pbsacademy.org.uk

We are using our new logo so you will be able to recognise us easily.

We need your help

Please look at the resources on our website; disseminate them as widely as you can by telling everyone about the website, sharing this blog and being active on Twitter. We want as many people as possible to know about them and to use them.

We would love to get your feedback on our resources either via our website www.pbsacademy.org.uk or by emailing us: pbsacdemyuk@gmail.com

Last Blog for The PBS Coalition

So this is the last blog from the PBS Coalition! Now we have the PBS Academy website we will no longer use this blog to communicate our latest news. Our website will publish any new resources and keep you all up to date on what the PBS Academy is up to.

Thank you!

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has been involved in the development of these resources over the past few months. They are all acknowledged in the resources themselves. In addition thank you to Louise Denne and Alison Branch who have led and co-ordinated this project, and Richard Hastings and Steve Noone who have provided guidance as part of the Steering Group.
