This resource is intended for use in training within health, housing and social care teams that support families and children with autism/learning disabilities who display challenging behaviour. It is set out in a way that encourages a questioning and exploratory approach to local issues so that they can be understood and shared, and local solutions can be developed together. The resource contains a series of seven short films exploring the following themes: what families say they want; the issues that families with children with autism/learning disabilities who display challenging behaviour face; what helps keep the child in the family home; what helps families get the right housing; examples of good housing solutions; what housing departments can do to improve; top tips for health, housing and social care staff. The films feature real examples of what families have said they want in getting the right home environment for their children. They also feature a range of professionals who have experience of helping families and children have better lives. (Edited publisher abstract)
