Challenging behaviour can be due to a number of factors such as anxiety, neglect, abuse, learning disabilities and conditions like dementia.

During this course, learners will develop an in-depth knowledge of the causes of challenging behaviour to successfully help support individuals and manage their behaviour.

This course is ideal for anyone who is employed in a health and social care or education setting and would also be suitable for those who simply have an interest in this subject area.
