Workshops

At CBF, we have been successfully running workshops for family carers, organisations and professionals for over 12 years. All our workshops have been co-designed, co-developed and co-produced at every stage with family carers of a family member with a severe learning disability whose behaviour challenges.

The Jan Seamer Memorial Positive Behaviour Support workshop 

Jan was such an inspirational family carer who helped develop and deliver our workshops.

As part of Jan’s legacy, we are running a free online Positive Behaviour Support workshop for families caring for children, young people and adults with severe learning disabilities whose behaviour challenges. Please note, this workshop is for family carers only.

The workshop is held in the spring each year. Dates will be confirmed nearer the time. Please check back in January 2024.

The workshop is delivered in 2 parts

Part 1: Understanding Challenging Behaviour

Part 2: Supporting Behaviour Change

Timings: 10am – 2.30pm

Invitation to join via Zoom link will be sent after registration.

Our workshops are friendly and non-judgemental. The workshops are delivered by a PBS trainer and a family carer co trainer, this gives a balance between theory and real life experiences. To get the most out of the workshops it is important to attend both sessions.

To register your interest, please email workshops@thecbf.org.uk or telephone 01634 838739.
