An investment in Positive Behaviour Management (PBM) training for your team is a big decision, and not one to take lightly. Whether you’re looking at a Train-the-Trainer model for the first time or considering a change from your current provider, the financial and operational commitments can feel daunting, and it’s understandable to feel cautious.
However, you’re not just choosing a course, but making a decision that will shape your team’s confidence, the culture of your organisation, and, ultimately, the safety and wellbeing of the people you support.
You may be thinking: Will this really work for our staff? Does it fit the way we work? Will it deliver what we need?
Why Hesitation is Understandable
Choosing a PBM training provider is about much more than just ticking a compliance box. it’s about choosing an approach that works for your team, your clients, and the way you deliver care. But that choice comes with its own pressures:
But we also know that training comes with hidden costs:
- Operational disruption, covering staff shifts during training.
- Time away from care, and the continuity impact for clients.
- Uncertainty – what if the approach doesn’t suit your staff or setting?
- Staff turnover – investing in training only to see employees leave.
Making this decision often comes down to a proposal or a conversation – and that can feel like a leap of faith.
An Opportunity to Experience Training Before You Commit
To take that pressure off your shoulders, we offer something different: an opportunity to experience our Train-the-Trainer programme before making any financial commitment.
You and your staff can engage fully with the training, meet the trainers, and see for yourselves how the approach fits into your everyday challenges and culture. If it works for you, you move forward. If it doesn’t, you walk away – no strings attached.
We believe this transparent, no-risk approach achieves three things:
- Allows you to evaluate the training on its own merits – not just what’s written on a brochure.
- Make sure it aligns with your values, organisational goals, and work environment.
- Feel confident in your choice, knowing it’s based on real experience, not assumptions.
Supporting You Every Step of the Way
From your first conversation with us to the final delivery of your training, we work alongside you as collaborators, not merely as a service provider. We know that the real impact of training depends on how well it’s supported and embedded, so we don’t just deliver a course and disappear. Instead, we see it as a partnership, working alongside you at each stage.
We recommend a simple, three-step journey:
- Consult – an open discussion about your needs and how we can help meet your statutory and operational requirements.
- Develop – we create a bespoke, flexible training plan that works for you – whether that’s Train-the-Trainer, direct delivery, or a blended model.
- Implement & Evaluate – you take part in the training, assess its relevance and
The Benefits of Timian’s Approach
By giving you the chance to evaluate the training without upfront commitment, we help you make a choice that’s right, while keeping operational pressures in mind.
- Less downtime – flexible formats that fit around your schedules.
- Relevant content – focused on the realities of your environment, not just theory.
- Better value – no risk of investing in something that doesn’t work for you.
- Team engagement – staff see the benefit early, which improves buy-in.
- Ongoing support – because embedding change takes time and reflection.
We’ve seen first-hand how empowering your own trainers strengthens organisational culture, builds confidence, and reduces costs over time. But we also believe that you deserve to feel certain before making that commitment, our approach gives you the space to decide with clarity.
Let’s Start the Conversation
Choosing the right PBM training for your care teams shouldn’t be just another box ticking exercise. It shapes how your staff responds in moments of crises – calmly, confidently, and with compassion – and getting it right has a lasting impact on the people you support.
Training of this kind doesn’t just improve individual skills; it strengthens trust, reduces risk, and builds a more resilient and capable care staff. When done well, it helps create a safer, more supportive environment for everyone, staff and clients alike.Our try-before-you-buy model gives you the space to make that decision thoughtfully, without the usual pressures. If you’d like to explore how it could work for you, get in touch with a member of our team today, we’ll be happy to talk about your needs and help you find the right fit for your team and your service.
