INTRODUCTION
The health and social care domain works to ensure that clients are provided with the best-
in-class services. In this sector, a professional encounters numerous challenging behaviour posed
by the clients. It is essential for the executive working in health and social care sector to employ
tactics such as communication and interpersonal skills so that situation is manageable
(Allemand, Steiger and Fend, 2015). This assignment takes into consideration the legislations
which have been formulated by the government to measure health and safety practices in the
institution. The tools of interventions will be discussed upon and the best practices will be
identified and applied onto clientèle. In addition to this, various responses to challenging
behaviour will be identified.

P3 Importance of using Process of implementation of least restrictive interventions
It is very important to utilise the ideal process of the intervention so that situation can be
managed in the desired manner (Crone, Hawken and Horner, 2015). The service user first exhibit
behaviour had to be understand and dealt and after that situation a client might depict aggressive
behaviour in terms of biting scratching and kicking which needs to be immediately intervened by
the service provider so that a situation can be de-escalated. It is crucial to follow a process with
which least restrictive practices are to be adopted so that behaviour of a client could be
improved. The law which defines the stature of health and safety are to be followed and
minimum force should be allowed while dealing with patients (Romero and et.al., 2014).
P4 Role of safeguards while intervening the situation
Safeguards are referred to as precautionary measures which are undertaken to prevent the
situation from getting worse (Kinniburgh and et. al., 2017). It is very important to take
preventive measures such as involvement of the parents which involving oneself in the behaviour
of a child. Parents should be informed with the states and information identified during
intervention. If the behaviour of an individual gets aggressive a service provider have to use
minimum force while getting involved in the situation. The codes and principles of carrying out
of operations must all be kept in mind which states welfare of the users should always be kept
supreme (Masten and Monn, 2015). Under such circumstances, service user and provider must
encounter an injury while intervening in challenging situations.

P6 Explaining importance of child or person centred approach
It is necessary for a healthcare institution to employ person centred approach so that there
is special consideration paid to needs and desires of the consumers. This approach is helpful in
carefully planning and executing action plans for the future (McEwen, Gray and Nasca, 2015).
This feature will help in serving clients in the best possible manner along with the chances of
minimising eruption of challenging behaviour. The development of future plans for business
2

helps in providing young children a direction to lead their future in the right direction. This
planning ensures that a service user is catered by multi-disciplinary teams which ensure
identification of problems and holistic development. Therefore, it is recommended to healthcare
organisation to opt for person centred approach so that the best services are offered to him along
with promotion of positive behaviour (Robinson and et.al., 2015).

P9 Steps taken to maintain dignity and respect of an individual
It is essential to maintain dignity and respect of individual while dealing with a
challenging behaviour of an individual. The major steps are
 It is important to assess the situation before actually involving oneself in those
circumstances.
 It is necessary to act calmly while dealing with the situation.
 The comfort which is being offered to the person must be enhanced so that participation I
the activities can be enhanced (Rego and et.al., 2014).
 The social isolation and irritable factors are to be eliminated so that person can be calmed
down.
 Communication needs to be emphasised under these circumstances.
P10 Steps to be taken prior to portraying of challenging behaviour
It has been identified that incident of challenging behaviour by an individual should be
dealt with respectful and composed manner so that better results could be attained. The
individual should be supported on emotional and physical grounds so that his behaviour could be
modified. The tool of IESCAPE is deployed so that individual could be counselled. The first step
involves separating of an individual so that he is not able to hurt other clients. The situation
should be assessed from the view point of involved individual. Discussing the incident with
other will help in overcoming various alternatives through a person could have reacted to the
incident. The routine treatment is offered to client so that his behaviour could be counselled and
manipulated.

CONCLUSION
It can be concluded from the above report that thought-provoking behaviour which is
illustrated by individual must be dealt with in a professional manner. The tool of intervention is
generally used by the service providers so that their behaviour can be countered with right
strategies. Moreover, the aggressive and physical behaviour must be countered with
communication and paying due respect to the client.
