18. Workshop How can the successful use and assessment of physical interventions (PI) help support PBS in your setting? How is PI delivered in your setting? Is it part of a proactive / positive approach? How is it monitored? Could this process be more rigorous? Are all PI carried out consistently as part of an individual plan developed in the service users best interest? How up to date is your policy? Can you think of examples that highlight PBS and PI?
