‘BEHAVIOURS WHICH CHALLENGE’

WHAT ARE ‘BEHAVIOURS THAT CHALLENGE’?

Behaviour which challenges is any behaviour that puts someone at risk to themselves or others. This can be physical or emotional behaviour and often has a significant impact on an individual’s quality of life and their ability to engage in positive relationships. It is often seen in people with health problems that affect communication and the brain, but can also be common amongst children and adults who experience emotional difficulties.
