This week marks Safeguarding Week and the North East and North Cumbria Learning Disability and Autism Network are pleased to be launching their new campaign.
All Behaviour Happens for a Reason. Instead of trying to stop it, try to understand the reason(s) why behind it.
The aims of the campaign are to:
✅Increase understanding amongst the health and care workforce that all behaviour happens for a reason. It is not a diagnosis because the person has a learning disability or is autistic.
✅Support the health and care workforce to understand and consider why behaviours that may be challenging a service are occurring.
✅To ensure people with a learning disability and autistic people are getting their needs met.
✅To promote reasonable adjustments and positive behavioural support.
