In this film, we look at how services can be improved for people with behaviours that challenge. It explores a key factor to avoiding or reducing the challenging behaviour of people with learning disabilities; the people who support them need to provide better communication. This can be backed up by getting the environment right. To communicate better with people with challenging behaviour, staff need to get to know the people they support really well, so that the support can be properly personalised to the individual. We see how working in really well-informed ways can sometimes save money, and can improve the quality of life of people with behaviour which is seen as challenging.

People with a learning disability and behaviour that challenges should have the support they need to live how and where they want. Organising and developing services in the right way is the first step to making this happen. This quick guide focuses on achieving good outcomes for people through effective commissioning of services. It looks at planning and delivering services, providing services in the community, and considering housing options. The content is based on NICE’s guideline on learning disabilities and behaviour that challenges: service design and delivery. (Edited publisher abstract)

People with severe learning disabilities sometimes use behaviour that is said to be challenging, in order to communicate. This film illustrates that, with good support, people with challenging behaviour and severe learning disabilities can be enabled to enjoy independent, fulfilling lives. It explains why some people display challenging behaviour, and it shows how consistent, personalised support can reduce or prevent it. We see how vital it is to support family carers properly, and why people with challenging behaviour should not be excluded from services. The film shows how services and families can work together to improve the lives of people with behaviour that challenges.

Exploring the case of an unsettled new care home resident, this video shows how finding out more about a person’s life story provides clues to new approaches to care. There is an interview with the care home manager who describes what happened in this particular case and how, by providing relevant activities for the resident, it was possible to take him off antipsychotic drug treatment. The National Director of the National Association of Providers of Activities for Older People (NAPA) also encourages care home managers to support their staff in examining routine care practices. Staff can be empowered to look at what is going on and to make creative changes to the care they provide. Other interviews include the Director of Dementia Care for BUPA and the new Clinical Director for Older People.

The aim of the Knowledge Review was to identify what is known about effective working with challenging and disruptive situations in residential child care. Challenging behaviours ranged from the defiant and non-compliant through to risky or violent behaviour against peers, staff or self. Group dynamics and change due to unplanned admissions were identified as leading contributors to challenging situations. Additional triggers included personal attributes and experiences of the young people, and factors relating to staff and the environment in which the young people lived. Strong leadership and having a staff team that reflect a range of skills and disciplines emerged as key to the effective management of challenging situations. A key finding was the major impact of certain staff features and styles of working. Strategies to build relationships, promote effective team working, build a skilled team and develop staff morale and resilience were identified. Effective preventative strategies included engagement with other professionals and agencies and outreach services. While a range of systems approaches were identified, the most common was Therapeutic Crisis Intervention (TCI). Obstacles to the management of challenging situations included a lack of meaningful consequences for young people who engage in particularly challenging behaviour and limited sanctioning options.

This guidance only applies to the management of children aged 12 years or younger or with a developmental age of 12 years or younger. The aim of parent-training/education programmes is to improve parents’ or carers’ relationship with their child, and improve their child’s behaviour. The programmes are usually given in 2- hour sessions once a week for 8–12 weeks, in a hospital, community or home setting, either in a group or individually. The programmes are run by healthcare or social care professionals, or sometimes by suitably trained staff from voluntary agencies. The programmes teach parenting and communication skills, and help parents to learn to understand their own and their child’s feelings and behaviour.
