The Protective Behaviours Consortium CIC carries out activities to promote the right of everyone to feel safe all the time through the principles and practice of the Protective Behaviours Process.
The Protective Behaviours Consortium CIC (PBC) is the national organisation for Protective Behaviours, replacing the Charity, Protective Behaviours UK back in the spring of 2014. The focus for the new organisation is to provide high quality and accredited courses and resources, and to create an effective membership body for the field of Protective Behaviours. The PB Consortium has made a legal commitment to demonstrating benefit to the community through its activities.
The Protective Behaviours Consortium will provide the quality assurance and national voice for everyone involved in the field of Protective Behaviours.
The goals for the Protective Behaviours Consortium are to:
- Preserve the integrity of the Protective Behaviours Process for future generations
- Protect the fidelity of the unique suite of Protective Behaviours Courses, programmes and services.
- Provide quality assurance for the public through best practice, national standards and accreditation, and the development of a Protective Behaviours quality mark
- Work for the practitioners, service/ training providers and organisations offering Protective Behaviours practice that make up the national Protective Behaviours community, bringing them together, raising the profile of their work and sharing innovative practice. As a consortium PBs based organisations will have the opportunity to develop partnerships and be in a stronger position to seek funding.
The Protective Behaviours Consortium has a strong inter-relationship with the Feeling Safe Foundation, a social, ethical and ideological body promoting everyone’s right to feel safe. It will support the Protective Behaviours Consortium by carrying out research, influencing policy, providing advocacy for all groups in society and attracting investment. Importantly, it will continue to develop the understanding and extent of Protective Behaviours expertise nationally and internationally through the profound recognition of the importance of ‘feeling safe’ as a fundamental human right.
