Recently there has been media coverage of Jonty Bravery, the man with autism who threw a 6 year old from the balcony at the Tate Modern Gallery. We can only imagine how traumatic this devastating incident is for the boy, his family and everyone else involved.
Media attention has been directed towards the support he was receiving and the safety of community support. We wanted to share some thoughts and concerns on what is being said here.
PBS4 has been in high demand recently, and we have gone through some significant changes. As a result we are starting planning for our Strategy goal that by 2022 we will be established as independent branches in the four counties we operate in – Hampshire, Dorset, Berkshire, and Oxfordshire.
To prepare for this we are looking for exceptional candidates to join us to help us on our next steps. Please click on the hyperlinks below to find details of how to apply.

Each month we hold a Coffee Morning for the people we support and their families so they can discuss experiences and common areas of interest.
This month the topic for discussion was ‘Makaton’. Makaton is a language programme using signs and symbols to help people to communicate.
To keep in the festive spirit of Christmas, Hannah Hall our Makaton trainer, joined us to demonstrate ‘We Wish You A Merry Christmas’ in Makaton and assisted us all to learn how to sign it.
Merry Christmas from all of us at PBS4 !

We have a Stakeholder Event on 28th February where we will be presenting an Enablement Champion of the Year, Good Luck to all.
A parents journey can be a difficult one.
At PBS4 we are mindful of this, parents come to us with a wealth of experience and insightful knowledge. So when one of our parents suggested we hold a regular coffee morning we jumped at the opportunity. Families are a valued part of our team and we respect and welcome this.
