Behaviour Support Framework

PETMA© BILD Accreditation

PETMA© is a disability and autism behaviour support framework which complies with HIQA standards and regulations. The PETMA© model is designed for staff in health and social care services who strive to support individuals in an ethical, respectful and person-centred manner. By establishing itself as the first and only Irish behaviour management model to be accredited with the Restraint Reduction Network, as well as being BILD Certified, PETMA© can provide strong reassurances that individuals supported within the PETMA© framework will be confidently, competently and most importantly, respectfully supported.
