12.1 Our aim is to be able to demonstrate that the behavioural support we provide:
- Improves overall quality of life for people using our services
- Reduces the frequency, duration and intensity of behaviours that challenge
- Reduces the use of reactive strategies to a minimum for individual people and across our services as a whole
12.2 Each month the Behavioural Support Champion for each service will:
- Collect and collate data about:
- Behavioural support plans which include the use of reactive strategies
- Behavioural incidents and near misses within the service. This will include identification of the types and outcomes of interventions used
- Report data and audit findings to managers, in house trainers and the council’s Positive Behavioural Support Service
12.3 Managers will monitor data and audit findings to identify trends and take whatever action is appropriate to reduce the likelihood of a recurrence, for example by:
- Reviewing interventions used within the service and / or organisation wide. Reviews may involve other in-house services and other professionals
- Ensuring that individual behavioural support plans are reviewed and amended where this is appropriate
- Sharing information with staff and trainers to support reflective practice and learning and the tailoring of mandatory training to ensure that use of reactive strategies is kept to a minimum and to meet service needs
- Ensuring that staff have access to practice support as required and / or requiring staff to repeat training or have additional training
Other professionals / teams / services may be involved in considering what changes are necessary to support an individual adult or changes to organisational practice
12.4 We will provide reports about the types of interventions and reactive strategies used within our services to external BILD accredited training provider as required by them.
