This book explores how to promote positive behaviour and the use of proactive and reactive strategies and explains how to respond to incidents of challenging behaviour and support people following an incident.  It also describes how to review and revise support plans and the legislative framework for providing support to people whose behaviour challenges services.

This book puts the person with a learning disability at the centre of the support you give. It uses real life stories, activities and thinking points to cover all of the learning outcomes and is full of practical examples of how to apply the ideas to the support that you provide. 

It is designed to support the Level 2 and 3 Diplomas in Health and Social Care (learning disability pathway) and the Common Induction Standards and in particular:

Level 3 - Promoting positive behaviour

If you work with people whose behaviour challenges services, studying for the level 2 or 3 diplomas in health and social care, or you want the right information to help your personal development, then Promoting positive behaviour when supporting people with a learning disability and people with autism is for you.


'What a fabulous. clear, positive and extremely good value handbook...I will certainly be using this new and updated book in my training and presenting it as a point of reference for my delegates.'
