Challenging Behaviour – National Strategy Group (CB-NSG)
The Challenging Behaviour – National Strategy Group (CB-NSG) was launched on November 7th 2008. The CB-NSG is a key national group to address the needs of children, young people and adults with learning disabilities whose behaviour is perceived as challenging.
The current situation is that organisations/stakeholders initiate work, commission research or reports or carry out pilots around specific themes or groups. What has been missing is a group which has an overview of this work, its impact and the policy opportunities available in order to develop a coordinated and coherent strategy across child and adult provision to ensure that every individual benefits.
Members of the CB-NSG include family carers, representatives from the Department of Health, Royal College of Psychiatrists, British Psychological Society, Royal College of GP’s, NHS Trusts, researchers, service providers and a range of practitioners, regulators, commissioners and third sector representatives. The group is action and outcome focused and comes together twice a year to monitor progress, share best practice and develop coordinated action plans.
