What Makes Our Approach Unique?
All of our Physical Intervention techniques are unique to the Space System of training, and have been Accredited by the British Institute of Learning Disabilities (BILD), as well as independently risk assessed by a qualified Occupational Therapist and Manual Handling Advisor. This ensures that the risk to staff and those who access services are minimised as much as possible.
When considering 'challenging behaviour' training most suppliers focus on the person in receipt of services as the source of the problem; often resulting in resolutions which involve controlling a person's behaviour.
The Space System is concerned with finding the real problems, looking at all aspects of any situation involving conflict. We seek to differentiate between causes and symptoms and believe that behaviour that challenges is symptomatic of issues that can be identified, i.e. unmet needs, inflexible services, unhelpful attitudes, an adversarial culture etc. Managing challenging behaviour is too late, the causes should be addressed before the symptoms, hence the title of our conflict training programmes, 'A Proactive Approach to Conflict'.
When addressing the management of behaviour our starting point is the way that professionals manage themselves and their own behaviour. Our training programmes encourage participants to explore their attitudes around work-related issues, and specifically in relation to conflict, examining their responses and the origin of them. We look at positive and negative responses to fear and methods of using fear to empower oneself and heighten awareness.
Similarly, when addressing the behaviour of those who access services the emphasis is on the professionals' responsibility to be teaching more appropriate ways for people to express themselves. Central to this concept is a clear understanding of the differences between a culture where consequences are encouraged for inappropriate behaviour, and one where 'bad' behaviour is punished.
The Space System and our training is based on the belief that physical interventions are often detrimental to relationships. We recommend that any restrictive physical interventions training should be person specific with techniques supported by a written, individual care plan and risk assessment.
