What to expect from the course

If you are looking to enhance your understanding of challenging behaviour and acquire effective techniques to support individuals displaying such behaviours, this qualification provides a great opportunity to broaden your knowledge and expertise.

Develop a thorough understanding of the concept of 'challenging behaviour' - its definition, underlying causes, and potential consequences. Delve into strategies to promote positive behaviour, acknowledge the importance of effective communication, and proficiently handle challenging behaviour.

This course introduces the concept of "Behaviour that challenges," which refers to actions or conduct that may be perceived as difficult, disruptive, or unusual in a specific context. It encompasses a wide range of behaviours, including aggression, self-harm, verbal outbursts, or refusal to comply with instructions. Recognising signs of challenging behaviour involves paying attention to various indicators, such as sudden mood swings, increased agitation, physical tension, or changes in body language. By being observant and vigilant, one can identify these signs early on and take appropriate measures to address the situations.

Non-verbal communication plays a crucial role in understanding and managing challenging behaviour. It involves interpreting and responding to cues that are not expressed through words, such as facial expressions, body posture, or gestures. Being aware of these non-verbal signals can provide valuable insights into an individual's emotional state and help effectively communicate and de-escalate challenging situations.
Reflecting on incidents involving challenging behaviour can be a powerful tool in managing future behaviour. By analysing what happened, why it happened, and the contributing factors, one can gain valuable insights and develop strategies to prevent or handle similar situations in the future. It allows for a deeper understanding of the underlying causes and triggers, enabling more effective interventions and support.

Understanding "behaviour that challenges" and employing strategies to recognize, communicate, and manage it is essential in various settings, including healthcare, education, and social care. By gaining a comprehensive understanding of these concepts, professionals can provide better support and create a more inclusive and supportive environment for individuals facing such challenges.

This course can support you working towards this.

On successful completion of the qualification you will achieve an NCFE Level 2 Certificate in Understanding Behaviour that Challenges.
