2 The 2015 BILD International Positive Behaviour Support Research and Practice Conference BILD s PBS International Research and Practice conference is the leading PBS event in the UK calendar the place where the positive behaviour support community gathers. This year s conference, being held in Dublin between 6-8 May 2015, will be bigger and better than ever. Academics and PBS practitioners, those commissioning support and those providing support, come together at this conference to hear the latest developments in PBS research and evidence-based practice from an outstanding line up of keynote speakers, with leading international speakers contributing global perspectives. The conference workshops facilitate the exchange of experiences and discussion around good practice, as advanced PBS practitioners present their work and explore PBS approaches and tools. There are lots of opportunities for delegates and facilitators to network, collaborate and reflect on their personal and organisational practice. The underlying theme of the sixth BILD International PBS Research and Practice Conference will be on human rights perspectives on the use of restrictive practices, and how these should influence local PBS practice. The pace of developments in the field of positive behaviour support over the last two years highlights the need to critically evaluate how PBS is being applied at the most local level at the point of support for the individual, and how we can best ensure that evidence based practice becomes everyone s daily practice. The aim of the conference is to ensure we support every individual in person centred ways and that the organisations and individuals providing that support learn skills and adopt approaches that reduce reliance on restrictive practices within a human rights framework. Delegates last year said they enjoyed: The breadth of experience of the speakers working to promote PBS, signposting to and chatting with other organisations, enjoyed the friendly, welcoming nature of BILD staff. The conference has provided a wealth of information regards PBS. It was good to hear speakers critically look at PBS and at getting PBS right. The whole conference was extremely well organised. The quality, experience and knowledge of all guest speakers were very high. Thought provoking presentations with a motivation to make appropriate changes. The enthusiasm of other participants, including the presenters. It s always good to network and find out what is happening elsewhere in the UK and worldwide.
