Our team understands the unique responsibilities and constraints faced by government agencies – that’s why our approach is rooted in collaboration, transparency, and impact.
We take the time to understand your statutory duties, service priorities, and the needs of the people you support. From there, we co-develop tailored, evidence-based strategies that build internal capability, reduce restrictive practices, and deliver lasting outcomes.

FAQs | PBS For Government Agencies
What makes PBS UK different from other behavioural support providers?
We combine frontline experience with strategic consultancy, which means we understand the realities of public sector delivery as well as the policy context. Our support is flexible, evidence-based, and designed for sustainable systems change.
In short, we don’t just parachute in; we build capacity from within.

Can you help with urgent or high-risk situations?
Yes. Our team offers rapid-response input for situations involving significant risk, crisis management, or multi-agency coordination. We bring specialist expertise to help stabilise the immediate environment and set a course for longer-term, person-centred progress.
Do you work with whole systems or just individuals?
Both.
We support individual cases where intensive PBS input is needed, but we also help local authorities and national bodies embed PBS as a framework – through leadership development, policy alignment, workforce training, and systems change consultancy.

How do you ensure compliance with national guidelines?
Our approach aligns with best practice from NICE, Skills for Care, the Restraint Reduction Network, and other regulatory bodies.
Moreover, we stay consistently up to date with evolving policy, and help our partners stay ahead of regulatory and ethical expectations around restraint, safeguarding, and person-centred care.

PBS just for services that support people with learning disabilities?
That’s a common misconception; but no, it isn’t.
Rather, PBS is an evidence-based framework that can be applied across multiple sectors, including mental health, social care, education, and justice. We tailor our approach to the people and settings we’re working with, whether that’s young people, adults, or mixed-complexity populations.

How do you support sustainable change in public sector organisations?
We go beyond quick fixes. Our model builds internal capability by training teams, mentoring leaders, and embedding PBS principles into everyday practice. We co-design pathways that reduce dependency, increase confidence, and create lasting culture change across your organisation.
