Abstract

Abstract : Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to provide a commentary on some of the issues raised in the paper "Developing a logic model to guide evaluation of impact for learning disability projects: the case of the Positive Behavioural Support (PBS) Academy". Design/methodology/approach: Drawing on the PBS literature and with reference to the Scott et al. paper, the use of a logic model as a framework for implementing PBS within social care organisations is described. Findings: A logic model may be a useful framework for the implementation of PBS within social care organisations and could be used to help organisations develop a strategic approach to whole-system implementation of PBS. Originality/value: This commentary adds to the discussion by considering the use of a logic model as a framework for implementing PBS within social care organisations.
