Couple those qualities with our excellent staff training programmes and you\u2019ll see why Â鶹ÊÓƵ Group has a skilled internal talent pool which we are keen to grow and develop.<\/p>\nWe recognise the importance of investing in our staff so they are equipped to do their role to the highest standard, therefore staff training is an essential aspect in providing the quality care which we set out to achieve from day one.<\/p>\n
All new staff are required to attend and complete a relevant corporate and service-specific induction programme matched to the role being undertaken. These are aimed at meeting national legislation, guidance and standards such as the Care Certificate, Level 2 diploma in Care, Level 3 Diploma in \u2018Children\u2019s Residential Services\u2019. We also offer additional leadership and management programmes to ensure managers have the knowledge, skills and abilities to lead and manage effectively, this includes, relevant qualifications such as, Level 5 in Care or Leadership and Management.<\/p>\n
All staff attend training in our Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) programme called Meas, which is\u00a0Certified by Bild ACT against the RRN Training Standards. It is a crisis prevention and management programme that strives to keep the individuals we work with at the center of everything we do, whilst reducing the need to rely on high-risk interventions wherever possible. The use of physical interventions are the absolute last resort.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Positive behaviour support” tab_id=”1597824363940-9f4f285c-70c5″][vc_single_image image=”4718″ alignment=”left” css=”.vc_custom_1595587960430{padding-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_custom_heading text=”Positive behaviour support” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:150%25|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff” google_fonts=”font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1602208730658{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_text]Â鶹ÊÓƵ Group provides care and support to people with complex needs and behaviours of concern to meet their needs effectively by using a framework of positive behaviour support (PBS)<\/p>\n
PBS is a person-centred way of providing support to people with a learning disability and\/or autism, who display behaviours of concern.<\/p>\n
Working within a PBS framework helps us to make sure that the quality of life of everybody we support increases during their time with us.<\/p>\n
We think that this means that the people we support should:<\/p>\n
\n- stay safe<\/li>\n
- be healthy and active<\/li>\n
- be involved<\/li>\n
- make choices<\/li>\n
- be independent<\/li>\n
- communicate<\/li>\n
- be happy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
To do this we:<\/p>\n
\n- provide physical and social environments that are supportive and meet people’s needs<\/li>\n
- teach people new skills to replace behaviours of concern<\/li>\n
- we support people to achieve their goals<\/li>\n
- provide behavioural and therapeutic assessment and interventions based on really understanding each individual\u2019s needs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Despite this, life can sometimes be difficult and stressful for the people we support. We take an active approach to supporting people to deal with this by understanding the signs that they are becoming distressed or anxious and helping them develop and use coping strategies.<\/p>\n
After an incident we think it is important that we take time to reflect and learn together from what has happened. We use different ways of de-briefing with the person we support and their staff depending on each situation.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_tour][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1594723215415{padding-top: 5px !important;padding-bottom: 5px !important;background-color: #87b8d4 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Get in touch” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:300%25|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff” google_fonts=”font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kisimul.co.uk%2Fcontact%2F|||”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” column_spacing=”0px” css=”.vc_custom_1594804446552{margin-top: -10px !important;background-color: #cbc141 !important;}” el_id=”bot2row”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”5421″ css=”.vc_custom_1602616327093{margin-top: -10px !important;}” el_id=”mobhide”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”4385″ alignment=”center” el_id=”quote”]
