Developing PBS skills and good practice in PBS is a key element in supporting better lives for people with learning disabilities and complex needs.

This innovative learning resource provides a comprehensive introduction to PBS for practitioners in health and social care who support people with learning disabilities. It will also be helpful for those working in education settings, and for family carers.

There are 12 chapters. Each chapter can be read as a standalone source of information about an aspect of PBS. You can learn at a time and pace that suits you.

At the end of each chapter, you submit your work which will be assessed and if you pass you can apply for a MyLearning open badge in recognitions for your learning from that chapter.

You can access ‘Understanding PBS’ on the SSSC Learning Zone page
