People whose behaviour is described as challenging are among the most vulnerable to poor services, poor intervention and abuse. Yet over the last two decades we have seen a wealth of policy, research evidence and good practice guidance as to what works and how services should be developed and delivered. This conference will bring together the main stakeholders in services for people whose behaviour is described as challenging and examine what is good practice and how this can become embedded in everyday practice. Aims of the conference • Explore the views of different stakeholders • Examine the evidence base for good practice • How to support good and sustainable services Speakers at the eventChair: Dr Theresa Joyce Head of Psychology, Estia Centre, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust Chair: Steve Hardy Training and Consultancy Manager, Estia Centre, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust Jan Seamer Family carer, Challenging Behaviour Foundation Dr John Rose Lecturer and Consultant Clinical Psychologist, The University of Birmingham and Dudley South Primary Care Trust Karin Fuchs Consultant Clinical Psychologist, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust Michael Hearn Clinical Psychologist, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust Ben Burke Senior Behavioural Support Practitioner, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust Lorraine Hutchinson Speech and Language Therapy Team Manager South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust Annie Parris Senior Behavioural Support Practitioner, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust Dr Peter Baker Head of Psychology of Learning Disability, East Sussex County Healthcare NHS Trust and Honorary Senior Lecturer, The Tizard Centre, University of Kent Peter Cronin The Tuesday Group and MP, Lewisham Speaking Up Sandy Bering Strategic Lead Commissioner/Consultant, Trafford Primary Care NHS Trust Who should attend• Family carers • Staff working in residential, supported living, day, employment and outreach services • Health and social care professionals from community teams and services for people with learning disabilities • Health care staff working in assessment and treatment services WorkshopsA.
