Our Therapeutic
Services
Positive behaviour support (PBS) is the framework we use for everything we do. It is values driven, evidence-based and practical.
Focusing on people’s rights provides the ethical compass which guides our approach to working with people. We understand that behaviours that challenge arise from an interaction between a person’s needs and the environment and strive to provide capable support environments which maximise learning. Holistic assessment enables high quality personalised support to achieve outcomes for people which are meaningful. PBS is a compassionate approach to supporting people to have a good quality of life and in doing so, minimises the risk of behaviours that challenge.

Meadow View's Safeguarding Event was held recently with help from the Group's Clinical Team. We had a special coffee morning in the Village Hall to raise awareness on keeping ourselves safe and who to tell if we are not happy.
As a start to our festive activities at Low Laithes, a group of people have been sledging at SnoZone Castleford for the last two weeks. Everyone had a great time and really enjoyed the activity. We will be returning next week for another go on the snow!!
Last Friday night, a large group of supported people from Meadow View visited the Air Haus Inflatable Park at Meadowhall, in Sheffield where everyone had a fantastic time.
Earlier this week, a large group of supported people living at Meadow View took a trip to the cinema to watch the new Trolls movie. Everyone had a wonderful time.
On the 7th of November, Meadow View held its annual bonfire event, which included fireworks, hog roast and music. They had people attend from some of our other services, plus some parents came along too. A fantastic night was had by all.
Last week at Meadow View, we sent 30 bun packs out to people living within the service who wanted to make buns to raise money for Children In Need; we also held a coffee morning and a Pudsey t-shirt design-making session.
On 15/11/23 we held a #PositiveNoticingDay at Mercury College. Labels were available for people to take, write positive notes on and pass to people to wear for the day. They were then handed in before leaving so we can decorate one of our Christmas trees with all the #positivity!
We made some rangoli patterns with paint for #Diwali at Meadow View at the beginning of this week. #adultsocialcare #peoplewithlearningdisabilities #residentialcare
We've been gearing up for #ChildrenInNeed this week with some arts & crafts to display around our service here at Low Laithes in Barnsley. Today, we held a fancy dress Makaton Choir, participated in Pudsey-themed activities, and enjoyed some drinks & cake! #cin2023
Last week, we held our first Low Laithes' Got Talent auditions and the contestants have set the bar very high for our next auditions later this month! We're looking forward to seeing more fabulous talent from everyone 🙂 #complexcareneeds #adultsocialcare #carehomeactivities
Two people living within Meadow View had a great day out this week in York. First stop was breakfast at Toby Carvery then onto the National Railway Museum. Both had such a good day that they plan to visit again soon. #socialcare #residentialcare #peoplewithlearningdisabilities
On Wednesday, a person living at Low Laithes, our Barnsley service, celebrated his birthday with staff by visiting Yorkshire Wildlife Park in Doncaster and later enjoyed his chocolate cake.
