Restrive Intervention

ll that I do in my work place is regulated by policies and current legislation.   The training that we attend has been designed to cover all aspects of legislation such as the Health and Social care Act 2008 which provides a code of practice to enable us to provide the best possible care and support to the service users.   Included in the training is managing challenging behaviour,   this not only covers challenging behaviour but strategies that support positive behaviour in order for incidents of challenging behaviour be reduced.   Aldo covers in this act are care plans and full strategies to encourage positive behaviour is implemented within these.   As a supported living organisation we at Eden also have inspections from CQC which ensure we are meeting care standards relating to behaviour and how we encourage positive behaviour is evaluated.   As a member of staff I have the responsibility to record all incidents of behaviour support and these include both positive and challenging behaviour.
