Custom Positive Behaviour Management Training Options
This training pathway aims to help develop bespoke positive behaviour support packages for organisations with unique needs.
There are two distinctive pathways for our custom training options:
Individualised training
The first pathway is for us to design a positive behaviour training course delivered at student level around the needs of a particular individual that you support. This is referred to as an Individualised Response Strategy and is normally part of a Multi Disciplinary Team approach.
Bespoke courses
The second pathway is working with organisations to help develop their own training modules within our BILD Act Certified courses. This can then satisfy the requirements of CQC inspections and the NHS commissioning process.
Typically, we would work with them to adapt the language in our materials to reflect their organisational culture, or more commonly work with them to develop custom positive behaviour management resources which focus on the individuals they support. We have worked with a number of organisations over the years to develop materials using our resources based in the United States.
An example
We worked with a NHS Organisation to develop a bespoke training course for training their staff to be able to safely deliver a NG Feed during restraint. Working alongside them, we developed video resources for their physical skills, an enhanced workbook and powerpoint slides the followed the training. This training was then assessed by BILD Act and certified to satisfy the current guidelines.
Questions about our courses
What happens when I qualify as a trainer?
When a participant passes the Timian train-the-trainer course and registers as an associate trainer with BILD ACT, they’re entitled to deliver the positive behaviour management courses within their own organisations.
They will also be given access to our Timian Resource Centre, which consists of all of our training videos, PowerPoints and administrative paperwork for delivering courses.
What is an affiliate?
Due to the nature of the BILD Act Certification, any organisations who work with us to develop positive behaviour management trainers will be required to have Senior Trainers listed as Timian Learning and Development trainers.
Any organisation delivering our training in-house will be required to sign up as an Affiliate organisation and their trainers will need to be registered as Associate Trainers. All affiliates are listed on the BILD Act website
This satisfies the BILD Act Certification scheme, and also ensures that CQC/NHS inspectors are clear on who is allowed to deliver certified training.
Do you teach restraint techniques?
In line with our BILD Act Certification and approval from the Restraint Reduction Network, we do deliver courses which include physical restraint techniques:
Positive Behaviour Management Training
Timian Positive Behaviour Management Foundation Course
The following course allows in-house trainers to deliver any BILD Act Certified training:
Is this course just physical skills?
There are five chapters to this course before any physical skills take place. This is a requirement of our Bild Act certification and is in line with our Restraint Reduction Network guidance.
- Looking at Quality of Life
- Communication as Behaviour
- Individual Response Strategies
- Reducing Restrictive Interventions
- Ethics, Law and Policy
Do you train staff requiring clinical holding or require restraint for eating disorders?
Yes. These course are BILD Act Certified and RRN Approved and listed on the BILD Act website. These course are delivered as bespoke courses to your organisation and are not booked as stand alone courses. If you would like to book training in either of these areas, please let us know by contacting info@timian.co.uk
Is this course BILD Act certified?
This positive behaviour management train-the-trainer course allows you to deliver training Certified by BILD ACT following the RRN Standards. Our certification certificate can be found here. In order to deliver the training to your staff, you will need to register as a Timian Affiliate training organisation
Is this course a Pass/Fail Course?
The short answer is Yes. We expect that any course delivering this kind of training should have criteria for measuring people’s ability to put the training into practice. We also have to ensure that we follow our BILD Act Certification guidance.
Will I need a refresher?
Our BILD Act certification requires us to ensure that all our certified courses are refreshed annually.
How does your training map to PMVA?
PMVA (Prevention and Management of Violence and Aggression) is a term that was commonly used in the health sectors from the 1980’s onwards. There are also a number of organisations who have PMVA in their title. The content of each PMVA course for each organisation delivering it, will be different, but, if it is BILD ACT Certified and RRN Approved, then it should uphold the key components. If your organisation requires PMVA training, we cover the content required and more.
What is the maximum number of participants on the course?
Our courses are structured to a maximum number of 12 participants. This is also in line with current guidance laid out by the Restraint Reduction Network and BILD Act.
