Course Overview

Working with vulnerable children and young people is a rewarding profession, especially when we see young people succeed and achieve. For many reasons however, many children can present different types of challenging behaviours which we need to be able to respond to and manage. This training course considers what challenging behaviour is and how we, as individuals, react to different types of behaviours in different ways and how we all have our own professional limitations.

This training course considers the experiences which may have influenced challenging behaviour and focuses on the positive experiences which we can provide for young people in building resilience and managing their own reactions to challenging situations. This training course identifies the legislation and regulations around challenging behaviours and physical interventions, identifies de-escalation strategies and explores methods of positive behaviour management planning. This is a Level 3 accredited course.

This course is a theoretical course of non-intervention techniques and theories and does not include any practical physical intervention techniques.
