The reduction of restrictive practice is one of M&D Care’s core values. Behaviour is a form of communication, and by utilising Active Support and PBS, we can meet the needs of the people we support without needing to use restrictive practice. We pride ourselves on the fact that those prescribed physical interventions have either rarely/or never been used.
We believe that the development of communication and skills in practice ensures that the care is the least restrictive possible. By supporting people to develop skills to meet their own needs through Active Support, and staff managing the environment and triggers creatively through Positive Behavioural Support, the people we support are able to have their needs met without the need to use behaviours that challenge to communicate. If physical intervention is required, it is only as a last resort to protect the individual and those around them.
There are many forms of physical intervention training, however here at M&D Care, we follow the PBM ABMU model of physical intervention. PBM ABMU is the only training that puts all national and local policy guidance into practice in this training package, and is accredited by BILD. The training also covers the role of Active Support and PBS. In order to ensure safety and best practice, staff receive a refresher in PBM ABMU yearly, and as and when required refreshing in a particular move notified via staff meetings. In addition to this, we operate on a policy of “no touch”; with exception to personal care, and hand on hand support to teach new skills. All staff who train in PBM ABMU will have gone through the M&D Induction (with a focus on PBS and Active Support), received online PBS and Active Support Training (BILD accredited), and attended the 2-day Active Support workshop.
We have four PBM ABMU Trainers; Joseph Parker, Tilly Robinson, Chris Carmichael and Sarah Morgan.
