Changing Conversations Understanding Behaviour Resources

Please find here materials for health visitors to inform their practice, when supporting families to support understanding behaviour.  These evidence-based resources collate information about understanding behaviour and using appropriate interventions and to offer alternatives to restrictive practices.

To raise your awareness and understanding of restrictive practices in the Early Years, please watch the animation below which was coproduced in collaboration with The Challenging Behaviour Foundation and The Sleep Charity, and which shares the voices of parents through one family’s journey. The animation was made by Fettle.
