Children: Positive Approaches to Challenging Behaviour

Course Overview

Who’s it for?

Suitable for children’s homes, fostering agencies, secure settings, family centres, youth services, and family support, our Positive Approaches to Challenging Behaviour (PACB) programme is tailored to the needs of each organisation through a comprehensive Training Needs Analysis.
