Behaviour support

When one resident is destabilising the service, you need more than generic advice

Our Behaviour Support Package helps services understand what is driving distress or challenging behaviour, put a practical plan in place, and improve staff confidence around the resident.

This is built for repeated incidents, resistive care, aggression, agitation, sexual disinhibition or other situations where the team feels stuck.

Care staff working together to support a resident with compassion and structure
Best fit for

Services dealing with one or more of these problems

  • Repeated aggression, agitation or distress
  • Resistive care during personal care, routines or transitions
  • Staff inconsistency making things worse
  • Pressure around placement stability or family concern
  • Over-reliance on medication-first or reactive approaches
What you get

A clear process, not a vague opinion

  • Review of care records, incidents and patterns
  • Behavioural formulation to explain likely drivers
  • Positive behaviour care plan with practical staff guidance
  • Targeted support to improve confidence and consistency
  • Advice on embedding the plan into day-to-day care
How the package works

From repeated incidents to a clearer route forward

The aim is simple, understand the person properly, make sense of the behaviour, and give staff something useful to work from.

01

Review the case

We look at records, incidents, routines, patterns, likely triggers, current strategies and how staff are responding now.

02

Build formulation

We pull the information together into a behavioural understanding that actually explains what may be driving the behaviour.

03

Create the plan

We produce a positive behaviour care plan with proactive strategies, clear staff responses and practical de-escalation guidance.

04

Support staff

We help the team understand the plan so responses become more confident, more consistent and less reactive.

Illustrative before

What this often feels like before support

  • “We know this resident is distressed, but nobody can explain why.”
  • “Different staff are doing different things.”
  • “The care plan sounds fine, but it is not helping on shift.”
  • “Every incident feels like a fresh crisis.”
Illustrative after

What better can look like

  • Staff understand the likely drivers of behaviour
  • Responses become more consistent across the team
  • The care plan gives clear practical direction
  • Managers have a clearer route for review and follow-through
Linked training model

Can also be built through a structured BPSD training pathway

Our four-module BPSD pathway can be delivered so staff work with a real resident example across the programme and build towards a draft positive behaviour care plan.

  • Module 1, choose the resident and reframe behaviour
  • Modules 2 and 3, build understanding, patterns and formulation
  • Module 4, complete a practical care planning exercise
What you walk away with

  • Positive behaviour care plan
  • Practical staff guidance
