Increasing quality of life, reducing restrictions

Many individuals accessing the services of Godfrey Care have presented with behaviour that may be considered challenging, and has previously led to placement breakdowns. To ensure the right support is provided, our staff teams are provided with training in Positive Behaviour Support to understand the functions and settings of behaviours to increase a persons quality of life, but also through our partnership with NAPPI UK we ensures that staff are equipped with a range of strategies to support people safely during crisis events.

Staff understand how behaviour that may be challenging indicates an unmet need, or a communication need. Support staff adopting the principles of NAPPI training are non-judgemental and unconditionally have positive regard for all individuals accessing the service, ensuring that peoples human rights are protected, and upheld. Individuals are supported by a person-centred approach that builds on the individual's strengths, develops a greater range of communication skills, recognises their unique contribution and ultimately increases their quality of life.
