Course Overview

This course provides progression from the Challenging Behaviour Essential Level course. This is a full day classroom-based training session for people working with children and vulnerable adults to understand and manage challenging behaviour and respond to how this presents itself in their day to day work practice. This course aims to support learners to understand the behaviours and attitudes that people present with and helps learners to put strategies into place. Learners will be supported to analyse different types of behaviour and also to look at strategies and interventions that can safely manage this behaviour. Learners will analyse and reflect on the relationship between trauma and behaviour and will give the learners nurturing positive behaviour strategies to interrupt the challenging behaviour and provide long term improvement. The course features a range of group work, activities and discussions to enhance learner skill development. This training session can be accessed via a link and is accessible from a range of devices including IOS and Android platforms.

This course offers a blended learning approach including a short scenario, a workbook, infographics and a classroom style training session.
