They are:

• Philosophy, Values and Beliefs

• Service Delivery Approaches

The Positive Approaches to Behaviour Support Core Standard is a self-paced e-learning course. In addition to this, practitioners have the opportunity to apply the concepts through Work Practice Support or Professional Supervision over a twelve month period utilising an Appraisal process. Following on from the Positive Approaches to Behaviour Support Core Standard are six Extension Skills Topics and a number of Advanced Skills Topics.

• Making sense of sexual behaviour: Providing support for people with an ID

Advanced Skills Topics
