Our Trainers

BSS comprises of a group of Bild ACT Certificated Instructor Trainers who offer training to enable members of staff, from your organisation, to deliver courses in the use and development of proactive approaches in relation to behaviours that cause concern.

We can provide training in a range of approaches that use: physical interventions and breakaway techniques as a last resort.

The BSS Instructor Trainer Group

Our BSS Instructor Trainers have experience working in a number of different care settings including: learning disability settings; older people's services; services for people with mental health issues; services for children and young people with complex needs. In these settings, they work in teams and on their own so have an understanding of the issues that can affect staff and the people they support.

BSS Instructors, having initially trained, have all gone through a rigorous and on-going process of assessment and training before becoming qualified to deliver the training to prospective BSS Instructors.

Once a BSS Instructor has maintained their Certificate for at least 2 years they may be considered to become an Assistant Instructor Trainer, if the opportunity arises. This involves working for the BSS organisation delivering training; offering support and attending meetings. As well as contributing to the Instructors CPD portfolio this also benefits the Affiliate Organisation that they work for through the sharing of ideas and good practice with organisations from across the country.
