Challenging Behaviour Awareness Certification

Challenging Behaviour Awareness

This course is aimed at health and social care workers, caregivers, nursery staff, schoolteachers, and support workers in all fields. It aims to address the frustrating issues of challenging behaviour in the care situation.

Many carers are professional, well-trained and competent to offer physical care to their patients or those in their care, but they may struggle to deal professionally and unemotionally with people who are displaying difficult, disruptive or aggressive behaviour.
