England - What Next?

We know that "there are still too many people who are being sent away from their local communities in order to get a service" (Department of Health 2005). The Challenging Behaviour Foundation aims to work closely with parents/ carers and professionals/ commissioners in order to promote and develop small, individualised, high quality local services for young people who have severe learning disabilities and challenging behaviour.

We are keen to work with family carers, commissioners and professionals who want to achieve better outcomes for individuals with severe learning disabilities and challenging behaviour and their families and carers, facilitating equality of access to local mainstream education and participation in the wider community locally.

We can:

Talk through your options with you
Link you with other families who are facing (or who have been through) transition with sons/daughters who are described as having challenging behaivour
Link you with people who can help you achieve the future of your choice for your son or daughter
Provide more in-depth individualised support for some families
Give a presentation to your local parent carer support group
Give a presentation to your local authority or Partnership Board

PLEASE NOTE: with limited resources and personnel we may not be able to respond to all requests for individual support, but we will do the best we can!

Please contact us to let us know what would be the most practical way we could support you.

We hope this information pack has been helpful to you. Please send us any feedback you have as this will help ensure that future editions of this pack are as useful as possible.

Thank you for your help.
