Course Overview
Supporting children and young people in looked after support is a rewarding and motivating profession and provides many opportunities to see young people develop and thrive. For many young people, being in looked after support can be challenging and they may have experienced a difficult early life including trauma, neglect and abuse and the impact of this can be shown through challenging behaviour.
One of the most important parts of the role in supporting vulnerable children and young people is to continue to promote positive behaviour, through individual support, therapeutic approaches and role modelling.
This training course describes the meaning of the term ‘challenging behaviour’ and ‘conflict’ and explains how behaviour can be perceived in different ways and by different people whilst identifying individual conflict management styles and evaluating how this can promote the diversity of a support team.
This training course explores the importance of recognising our own approaches to behaviours as a way of supporting vulnerable young people and evaluates the impact of stress and how everybody reacts to stress in different ways which identifying strategies to support ourselves and colleagues in managing stress.
This training course explains potential reasons why some young people in looked after care may present certain behaviours and how a young person’s history and early life experiences may have influenced on behaviours including attachment, trauma, abuse and neglect and explains how loss and separation can be linked to young people and challenging behaviours. This course examines the theory that ‘every behaviour has a positive intent’.
This training course considers the importance of empathetic communication and how our own body language and ‘behaviour mirroring’ play an important part in promoting positive behaviours and discusses the positive impact of promoting praise, motivation, self-image, belonging, and trust.
This training course defines initial information about a young person which can support positive behaviour planning whilst identifying key components of an affective behaviour support plan and resources to use as part of support planning.
This training course discusses de-escalation strategies and calming techniques and compare the advantages and limitations of the ‘Ignore – Divert - Confront’ model of dealing with challenging situations.
This training course identifies ways to assess resilience levels in young people and how and why support for staff teams who are dealing with challenging situations and promoting positive behaviour approaches is essential (including debriefing). This is a level 3 accredited course.
