Summary of article i.e. Learning disabilities and challenging behaviour
This article is based upon the facts that has been represented by National Institute of
Health and Care Excellence which provides national guidance and advices in order to improve
health and social care. In the chosen article it has been summarized that quality standards are

disability along with challenging behaviour. As per standards, it has been evaluated that the
behaviour is the thing which challenges anybody's interaction level among the atmosphere and
person factors (Kelly, 2018). The behaviour consists of withdrawal, self injury, aggression,
destructive behaviour, etc. Due to this, one have to deal with certain outcomes which are related
to safeguarding, provide great experience of care, previous mature mortality, patient, safety and
security, etc. Thus, in order to deal with them, there is a requirement of competencies and
training occurs which are based upon care for the patients. This is the major reason that health
and social care providers involved in caring practices. Moreover, they also assess people and
treat them with learning disability and behaviour that challenges should have received which are
relevant to the training sessions.
On the other hand, families and care providers are also considered as recognized person
for addressing important role and support them with learning disability and behaviour. Although,
the statistics and previous studies explains that carers have insufficient amount of support from
professionals who do not assist and do not have necessary expertise. Therefore, this can lead
towards over medicating people having learning disability. The standards are highly focused
towards the things which make sure that certain statement shave been prepared that the
approaches used by staff includes the people with learning disabilities support them along with
following least restrictive practices that they can. According to the standards, they provide eight
major quality statements which all are focusing towards care people with having learning
disabilities. For instance one of the statements are related to equality, diversity and language
