Certificate in Understanding Behaviour That Challenges

This qualification is designed to increase learners’ awareness and understanding of behaviour that challenges and its effects.

By completing the qualification, learners will develop in-depth knowledge of behaviour that challenges which could support progression onto other appropriate qualifications and into relevant employment in the health and social care sector. It could be useful to learners working in education settings.

There are no specific recommended prior learning requirements for this qualification. 

The qualification is made up of four mandatory units:

• Understand behaviour that challenges
• Understand how to support positive behaviour
• Understand the importance of effective communication and the management of behaviour that challenges
• Understand the role of reflection and support for those involved in incidents of behaviour that challenges.

The materials comprise a set of high-quality activity workbooks, which have been produced to suit a range of delivery methods. These materials have been officially endorsed by the relevant awarding organisation as meeting the requirements of the qualifications. Learners will be provided with all the necessary workbooks to complete the programme and will have the opportunity to work through a series of reflective tasks and activities designed to reinforce the learning process and test their knowledge.
