Behavioural Support

Understanding what is happening and why, before choosing a plan. Safety, dignity and communication come first.

What a useful plan does

  • Looks at the activity, environment, communication and the child's wellbeing
  • Explains how adults will reduce barriers
  • Supports another way to communicate or take part
  • Records more than the number of incidents

Is it behaviour, or something else?

Pain, communication difficulties, changes in routine and the environment can all contribute. Assessment helps identify whether behavioural, communication, occupational therapy or other professional input is appropriate.

A sudden change should not automatically be treated as a discipline issue. Medical or safeguarding concerns need the appropriate response.
