This course will provide participants with the opportunity to :

• explore different examples of challenging behaviour which they meet in their workplace
• explore differences between various situations i.e. housing, day centres and individual work
• develop confidence and good practice in responding to challenging behaviour
• explore how to provide a safe and supportive environment for the service users and workers
• consider some of the causes of challenging behaviour

Participants are asked to prepare an example of a situation of the challenging behaviour in which they have been involved and bring to the training day.
