INTRODUCTION
Intervention can be used for promoting positive behaviour. Attitude of a person decides
whether one can overcome from a disease or bad habit (O'Brien, 2013). Care UK is an
organisation who is operating in health and social care sector of United Kingdom. This
assignment will discuss about restrictive interventions. Proactive and reactive strategies can be
used for promoting positive behaviour. They will be explained in this file. Ways of promoting
positive behaviour will also become part of this report. Responses to the incident of challenging
behaviour will also be included at the end of this file.
LO 1
P1 Legislation regarding restrictive interventions
Covered in poster.
P2 Interventions which can used for promoting positive behaviour
Their are mainly two types of intervention which can promote positive behaviour, they
are as follows:
Positive behavioural support plan – Proper planning can play crucial role in promotion of
positive behaviour. Functional behavioural analysis provide details about why a child or any
other person is behaving in a particular way. Once this work get accomplish then next part is to
decide all the measures which can be taken for maintaining challenging behaviour. Through
teaching, positive behaviour can be promoted.
Implementation of proactive strategies – Symptoms of negative behaviour can be seen in
children when they are studying at schooling (Browne, 2013). By giving proper guidance to
teachers and parents of child, this problems can be stopped at the point of its generation by Care
UK.

P4 Explanation of placing safeguards at a place in case of restrictive physical intervention
Safeguards are used for protection of client and employees of Care UK. They play an
important role in prevention of using excessive force. Big organisations like Care UK does not
only have concern about the preventing injury to service user, they also care about practitioners.

Safeguarding minimising the risk of getting injured and it also develop pour confidence in
service provider then they would not get injured at the time of doing their work. Placing
safeguard is not an option to health and social organisations, they are responsible for safety of all
the people who are present in their premises. Their are certain code of practice and acts like
health and safety act. They contain provision about placing safeguard, these rules has to be
followed by every enterprise who is operating in health and social care sector (Holt, 2016).
LO 2
P5 Difference between proactive and reactive strategies
Cover in poster.
P6 Explanation of maintaining person or child centred approach when establishing proactive
strategies
Person or child centric approach is essential at the time of choosing and implementing
proactive strategy because it explore concepts of making an action plan which care about feeling
and health of service user. One of the key advantage of maintaining a person centric approach is
that it plans for different upcoming stages of life of an individual. Normally practitioners
concentrate on current process and situation of service user. Adoption of this approach is crucial
part of most of the proactive strategies because it try to trigger challenging behaviour at early
stage. This approach restrict negative behaviour and make proper synchronisation in all the
efforts regarding intervention (Grant and Betts, 2013). Child centric approach assure fine
working relationship with client, it is necessary for getting desired result (7 Effective Ways To
Promote Positive Behavior In Children, 2018).

P9 Steps for maintaining dignity and respect of an individual
First step for maintaining dignity of a person with challenging behaviour is to keep a
calm behaviour. If service user will feel that practitioner is loosing his calmness then he/she may
also start behaving in weird and treating way. In order to follow this step in a proper way, service
proper need to lower down their voice so they can have a proper and effective communication.
Next step is addressing other person in a respectful way. This will minimise the chances of
disgracing a person with challenging behaviour. ''Not judging a person'' can also be considered as
an effective another effective step.
P10 Steps for checking well-being of an individual
Well-being of a person can be checked through a process i.e. IESCAPE. First practitioner
has to check that whether individual is isolated or not. Exploring a person's view is another part
of checking well-being. Normally service providers share their own views for determining that
whether service user is facing any problem or not. Their are many organisations who organise
different events regarding challenging behaviour (Joung and Park‐Poaps, 2013). By gaining new
knowledge about methods of assuring well-being of an individual, practitioners can do their
work in effective way. An important step of this process is to determine alternatives because
sometime plan A fails and an instant need of plan B arises. All the steps will assist service user
for entering in normal routine.
CONCLUSION
From the above report it can be concluded that there are many legislations which either
directly or indirectly impact restrictive intervention. Placing safeguard reduces risk of physical
damage to service provider and users also. Making proactive strategies is more effective
approach compared to forming reactive strategies. Positive behaviour can be promoted by
adopting various practice.
