Positive Options are a team of like-minded professionals from education, social and health care backgrounds. Positive Options are committed to the delivery of high-quality, evidence-based training and support that aims to reduce the frequency of physical interventions to manage actual or potential aggression and challenging behaviour across all service settings.  Our approach is to work with commissioning organisations to develop essential knowledge and skills for staff that enables them to effectively deliver person-centred outcomes and whole-system solutions for users of services, and their carers, using:

·         Primary and secondary preventative interventions (pro-active approaches)

·         Restrictive physical interventions to manage crisis (reactive approaches)

·         Post-incident analytical interventions (support and corrective approaches)

·         Reflective learning interventions (continuous professional improvement)
