Who Are We?
BSS comprises of a group of BILD accredited Instructor Trainers who offer training to enable members of staff from your organisation to deliver courses in the use and development of pro-active approaches to challenging behaviour. We can provide training in a range of approaches which the use of physical interventions and protective techniques as a last resort. 

The Instructor Trainer Group

Our Instructor Trainers have experience of working in a number of different care settings. Having initially trained as BSS Instructors we have all gone through a rigorous and on-going process of assessment and training before becoming qualified to deliver the training to prospective instructors.

Once an instructor has maintained their Certificate for 2 years they become eligible to become an Assistant Instructor Trainer. 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 organisation that they work for through the sharing of ideas and good practice with organisations from across the country.

This year a BSS Advisory Group was created. This is a group of approx 8 BSS Instructors with an Independent Convenor. It is intended that they will get together several times a year and discuss issues arising from the training. Along with the Instructor Trainer group and the Independent Support and Advisor they will give advice and consultation on all BSS issues as they arise.  We will also look at the future development of BSS.
