Description

If you want to gain a better understanding of challenging behaviour and how to support individuals who display it, this qualification is a great way to build your knowledge. Challenging behaviour is causing increasing concern today as many individuals have increasing levels of stress and uncertainty in their lives. This behaviour can be due to factors such as anxiety, neglect, abuse, learning disabilities and conditions like dementia. Understanding the causes of challenging behaviour is the first step towards finding ways to support individuals and manage their behaviour. You will learn about what “behaviour that challenges” means, why some people display this behaviour and the impact it can have.
