Challenging Behaviour Training
‘Challenging behaviour’ was a term coined to describe behaviour exhibited by individuals that we don’t like! It is not the individual who is being challenging; it is us, as the supporter or carer, who are being challenged.
Challenging behaviour training courses
delivered in-house and via public training events across the UK and
beyond.

Our Understanding Challenging Behaviour course is designed to encourage those attending to think differently about the behaviour of those with learning needs and disabilities – and also about our own behaviour as adults. Although it is almost impossible to change a person’s behaviour – unless they want it to change – we can learn how to understand their perspective and perhaps provide the conditions under which behaviour can change.

This is an interactive course with lots of opportunities for discussion, participation and self-reflection.
The course includes:
• Theories of behaviour.
• The function of behaviour.
• Why do people behave as they do?
• What actually is ‘challenging’ behaviour?
• How to motivate individuals to change behaviour.
• Preventing challenging behaviour.
• Strategies for managing challenging behaviour.
• Challenging our own assumptions about people and their behaviour.
The course does not cover methods
of restraint or similar physical approaches, but adopts a common sense
approach to enable reflection and learning of new ways to approach difficult
behaviour in service users and residents. The course schedule and materials
can be adapted to meet the needs of your service users, at no extra
cost.
This training will provide staff with:
• Increased
understanding of the function and reasons for behaviour.
• Increased understanding of assumptions and reactions
to challenging behaviour.
• Increased awareness of the perspective of a person with learning
needs and/or disabilities.
• Tools and approaches for supporting individuals with challenging
behaviour.
• Opportunities to share experiences with others.
Please call or email us to have a chat about how we can support your staff in supporting your service users.
