Sets out key elements that should be in place to provide effective local support for children and young people with learning disabilities and/or autism whose behaviours challenge. The resource can be used by SEND joint commissioning boards and Transforming Care partnerships to help inform a strategic approach to local care pathways. It highlights the importance of working with children and families to develop local challenging behaviour pathways. The resource covers: needs-based commissioning; person-centred planning and preventative support; Positive Behavioural Support; referral routes; coordinated assessments and plans; multi-disciplinary working; pathways for children and young people at pre-school, school age, and in transition to adulthood; working in partnership with families; workforce development; and data and quality. It is one of a set of three resources commissioned by the NHS England Transforming Care Programme to help Transforming Care partnerships, local authorities and CCGs to work together with local families.

Outlines learning from a consultation with commissioners, families, young people and providers to help inform the development of a pathway for children and young people with special educational needs/learning disabilities whose behaviours challenge. The pathway was designed to support Building the Right Support, with practical advice for commissioners. The consultation work was carried out in 4 areas across England face to face meetings or telephone interviews. The report also looks at what the project learnt about engaging with families and young people, and ways to ensure that people were able to put forward their views. Key themes emerging from the consultation showed that commissioners and family carers often had a different idea about the effectiveness of the provision to support children and young people. Families identified a lack of information about and access to support that did exist. This included information and access to services to help young people transition to adulthood, practical support for parents, and access to parenting courses. The report also lists what parents felt a good support service and their suggestions to improve services in their area. (Edited publisher abstract)
