Specialist PBS Training for Disability Support Workers | PHASE

At PHASE, we understand the complexities of supporting individuals whose behaviour can challenge services. With extensive experience of delivering positive behaviour support in our own services, we are now extending our expertise to you.

We are proud to offer a comprehensive suite of engaging, outcome-focused training programmes designed specifically for the disability sector. Whether you are a Disability Support Worker (DSW) seeking professional development or an organisation wanting to upskill your wider team, our certified courses will equip you with the skills to reduce the risk of behaviours of concern and create safer, more supportive environments.

Our Training Philosophy: Positive Approaches & PBS

Our training goes beyond simple procedures. It is grounded in Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) and trauma-informed practice. Our goal is to equip every participant with a deep understanding of the reasons behind behaviours of concern and to build practical skills in de-escalation and positive engagement. This creates a safer, more inclusive environment for everyone – participants and staff alike.
