Supportive culture with challenging expectations for accountability - Behaviour Support Practitioner 2B Inclusive Employee Review

2b Inclusive is one of the few organisations I have worked for where the wellbeing of both participants and staff is genuinely prioritised. Leadership is approachable, supportive, and actively seeks input from team members. Staff are regularly included in discussions and decisions, and there is a culture of collaboration rather than top-down management. The organisation is deeply committed to providing high-quality, ethical support to participants and ensuring that decisions are made in their best interests. There is a strong focus on person-centred and neuro-affirming practice, and the leadership team consistently demonstrates care and compassion for the people we support. One thing that stands out is the investment in staff wellbeing. Every 12 weeks, the organisation holds staff reset days focused on reflection, connection, self-care, and professional growth. These are meaningful experiences that go far beyond the typical workplace pizza lunch and demonstrate a genuine commitment to supporting staff both professionally and personally. There are excellent opportunities for professional development, clinical support, peer collaboration, and ongoing learning. I have always felt listened to, respected, and encouraged to contribute ideas. When I joined 2b Inclusive, I received support from experienced practitioners, opportunities to observe and learn from colleagues, ongoing supervision, and the clinical lead is ALWAYS available.

After experiencing the staff reset days, genuine leadership support, and being included in organisational decisions, my expectations of future employers have become unrealistically high.

2b Inclusive stands out as an exceptional workplace, particularly in the way it invests in its practitioners and upholds strong professional standards. The organisation provides high-quality training, ongoing professional development, and consistent access to clinical, peer, and cultural supervision. There is a strong culture of collaboration, and practitioners are well supported to grow their skills and deliver meaningful outcomes for the people they support. What makes 2b Inclusive especially notable is its commitment to ethical practice and accountability. The organisation maintains clear expectations around professional boundaries and client-centred work, reinforcing that supports must always be delivered with integrity. Recent concerns appear to relate not to the organisation itself, but to the actions of some former (previous) practitioners. There have been instances where individuals have acted in ways that are inconsistent with the ethical standards they previously promoted, including leaving and taking clients with them despite earlier stating they would not engage in such behaviour, among other serious behaviours. These actions raise legitimate concerns about professional integrity at an individual level, rather than reflecting the values or practices of 2b Inclusive. Overall, 2b Inclusive remains a highly reputable and supportive workplace. Its strong focus on training, supervision, and ethical practice sets a high standard, even when contrasted with the conduct of a small number of former staff whose actions do not align with the organisation’s values.

Nothing from the organisation. It had a group of very toxic staff that thankfully are not longer there!.
