Training for Carers

Carers can access training and support in order to enable them to better understand the person they are supporting and the reasons why they might have an increased level of anxiety which reduces their ability to cope in everyday situations resulting in episodes of challenging behaviour.

The focus of the training and support is to assist carers to provide support and ensure positive outcomes for the individual(s) they are supporting in addition to keeping themselves safe.

Training will enable the carer to have an increased level of confidence and provide appropriate support to lead a more fulfilling life and is for carers who provide support to people who may present with challenging behaviours within the following sectors:

• Children or adults with an intellectual disability
• Children or adults with an autistic spectrum condition
• Children with social, emotional difficulties associated with behaviours that challenge
• People with acquired brain injury
• People living with dementia
