What is "Behaviour of Concern"

MacIntyre uses the terms behaviour of concern, distress and changed behaviour depending on the person and the situation.

Behaviour of Concern as Communication

We view behaviour as a way of communicating and work hard to understand the message, listen to people and look for a solution.

Staff Training

Our PBS training includes PBS Elements, Human Right & Non-Restrictive Strategies, the MacIntyre PBS Leaders programme and bespoke courses.

Intensive PBS Support

MacIntyre has a team of seven specialist Lead PBS Coaches and a Head of PBS.

Our dedicated Lead PBS Coach for Specialist Services works closely with these teams.
