Intervention: Aims to improve outcomes for children with learning disabilities and challenging behaviours by reducing rates of full-time residential care entry. The project will use the 'Positive Behavioural Support' (PBS) service. PBS is an evidence based intervention that has been proven to help to prevent children being put in residential care, where they are often isolated from their family and can become vulnerable. Along with analysing and targeting a child's challenging behaviour, PBS highlights the impact of a child's wellbeing on their behaviour, and makes every effort to improve this.
