This one day programme explores the nature of ‘behaviours of concern’ including their causes and the consequences they have for the quality of life for those children and young people experiencing them. Participants are introduced to ‘Positive Behaviour Support’ and how this may be used to improve outcomes for looked after children and those who support them.
