A SUNDERLAND graduate will be putting her university work into best practice when she takes up a new national role supporting a programme designed to reduce physical intervention when caring for people with autism and learning disabilities. Lisa Alcorn has more than 23 years experience working in autism and is leaving her current post as Head of Practice and Development at the North East Autism Society to join national social care services charity Creative Support. There she will be developing a practical framework for the UK’s health and social care industry in the use of Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) and the minimisation of restrictive practices, in response to new guidance set out by the Department of Health, in the wake of the Winterbourne View Care Home scandal in 2011.
