WHAT WE DO, THE SERVICES THAT WE OFFER

Diagnostics: Positive Options provide a diagnostics management service. We work with organisations to undertake a comprehensive analysis of training, policy and other corporate needs. We then work with the customer to establish a management plan to identify how identified needs are best met and how corporate risks are mitigated, through education, training and other aspects of service provision.
Education and Training: Positive Options have a wide range of education and training options to support organisations in the establishment and maintenance of a highly-skilled and professionally prepared staff group.
Much of our current work surrounds the appropriate management of difficult situations and/or aggression and violence across the whole range of care and education settings. This includes offering theoretical and practical strategies and responses that assist organisations, staff and carers in the provision of care and support to children, young people and/or adults who may have a variety of complex needs, including people with:
- mental health and emotional needs;
- a learning disability;
- social and educational difficulties; and
- people whose behaviour is affected through an acquired brain injury or as a
result of dementia type illness.
We also offer specialist clinical holding programmes that are suitable for medical, post-operative, and dental care settings.
The services offered by Positive Options provide opportunities to identify and adopt effective and acceptable strategies and responses to these identified needs. Consequently, Positive Options is committed to helping each individual organisation, staff member and/or carer to understand not only the needs of the people that they support, but also the needs of each other in relation to their work.
One of our most frequently commissioned services is the provision of MAPA® training for staff - please see the MAPA® section of the website for more information and/or click here to view our customer information sheet.
In 2007 we launched two complementary training programmes that are based upon the principles of person-centred thinking and planning, and are intended to support organisations and staff to think and work differently with people who use their services: Promoting Positive Behaviour in a Person-Centred Way (PPB©) and Supported Decision-Making through Person-Centred Risk Management (SDM©).
Click here to access our PPB© customer information sheet and here to access our SDM© customer information sheet.
We will publicise our expanding education and training product range during the coming months in this section of the website - watch this space!
