What Is Challenging Behaviour Training

Challenging behaviour can occur in any setting, but it can be particularly prevalent in care, medical and educational environments. It is for this reason that it is important that professionals who work in these fields attend a Challenging behaviour training course like the ones that are available from tidaltraining.co.uk/learning-disability-training/challenging-behaviour-training-breakaway-techniques

Challenging behaviour can occur for a number of reasons and in some cases it could be as a result of a learning or physical disability as well as being enhanced by the individual stresses and strains that can appear in educational and care settings. The main aim of this type of training is to try and de-escalate a situation as quickly and calmly as is manageable and if possible without the need for physical restraint.

Courses like the one mentioned above will look at ways in which communication can help calm a situation and prevent it from escalating into a larger issue, as well as looking at what can cause these types of behaviours in the first place and how stress factors can lead to challenging behaviour arising. During the courses individuals will also look at ways in which they can look after their own personal safety as well as the safety of others and the individual who is experiencing a moment of challenging behaviour.

It is important that the training is undertaken and then reviewed on a regular basis as new best practice techniques may become available.
