Course Description
The term Managing Behaviours that Challenge reflects the fact that some behaviours challenge workers, carers and parents. There is always a reason for behaviours that challenge, and in many cases, it's a way for a person to control what is happening around them. Health and social care workers must have the right knowledge and skills to help support these individuals.

- The do's and don'ts of 'managing behaviours that challenge' - key strategies to use in the moment
- How to encourage and reward 'managing behaviours that challenge' - the techniques and tools available to you.
