Care and Control
Challenging Behaviour
It is inevitable due to the nature of some of the young people in our care that from time to time staff will be subjected to challenging or disruptive behaviour. To reduce the risk of harm to the young person, other residents or staff some form of control may be required to defuse or remedy a situation.
