What is challenging behaviour?

The term 'challenging behaviour' refers to any type of behaviour that causes significant distress or danger to the person of concern or others, including an outburst of aggression or resistant behaviour.

Challenging behaviour is most often - though not exclusively - exhibited by individuals with learning developmental disabilities, individuals with dementia or other mental health needs such as strokes or acquired brain injuries, individuals with psychosis and by children. Although, such behaviours can be displayed by any person.

What is challenging behaviour in health and social care?

Challenging behaviour in health and social care is a long term set of actions that puts the person being cared for and those around them (including carers) at risk, or reduces their quality of life.

Challenging behaviour includes:

Aggression towards carers
Aggression towards other patients or family members
Attempts to self-harm
Intense feelings of fear and paranoia

Our blog, 'Dealing with Challenging Behaviour for Care Workers', provides a guide on challenging behaviour in health and social care.

Who should enrol in this Challenging Behaviour Awareness training course?

This online Challenging Behaviour Awareness training course is designed for staff that want to gain a better grasp on how to deal with the challenging behaviour of children or adults who they work with. The roles this could include are:

Teachers and assistants
Healthcare workers
Live in carers
Childcare workers

What strategies are there for dealing with challenging behaviour? Preventing challenging behaviour is often easier and safer than dealing with it. When someone is starting to seem aggressive or resistant, keep in mind to treat each person as an individual and uphold the care values, communicate effectively and actively listen to what the person has to say in a non-confrontational way. This will help diffuse the situation.

Why is staff training important when dealing with challenging behaviour? Staff training for dealing with challenging behaviour is important because they need the relevant skills and knowledge on what to do in a challenging situation, the best way to treat it and how to improve the quality of life of people in their care. Without this knowledge, both the staff and the person with challenging behaviour can be hurt.
