Overview

Key facts

The Positive Behaviour Support programme of the University of Glasgow is one-of-a-kind. There is no other university-based Positive Behaviour Support qualification available in Scotland.

It is also a unique qualification within the wider UK, with its specific focus on implementation and practical skills.

The programme closes a skills gap within servicesâ€¯thatâ€¯offer support to people with intellectual disabilities and challenging behaviours, including health, social care, and education settings.

This programme is well-placed to meet Sottish and UK Government guidance in relation to best practice for supporting people with intellectual disabilities and complex support needs.

The approach of the programme is practical and practice-based, supporting you to apply your learning in practice, while still gaining a university qualification.

It will allow you to develop skills in planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluating Positive Behaviour Support interventions.

Youâ€¯will have an opportunity to develop your skills based on your current professional role.
