Course Description

This practice-based programme gives you the knowledge and skills that appeal to employers such as the NHS, local authority adults' and children's services, schools and the voluntary and private social and healthcare sector. It focuses on sound assessment and understanding of the reasons for challenging behaviour, teaching constructive ways to support the individual and people around the individual. This programme is an undergraduate course (level 6 or stage 3)

Our Graduate Diploma in Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) comprises four modules, some unique to PBS students and some shared with Tizard students on our Autism Studies programmes. You attend campus for one workshop at the start of each academic year and an additional exam workshop toward the end of the year.

Our programme produces graduates competent in the assessment of challenging behaviour and the co-production of strategies likely to result in better support. It provides you with the knowledge of clinical and person-centred best practice, preparing you for a career in education and adult services in highly specialist and leadership roles.
