There is no consistent approach in how behaviours that challenge are approached. Different practice partners advise based on their own philosophy which can be biased. Behaviours that challenge can be extreme, I sustained multiple injuries which ultimately led to a severe deterioration in my mental health. When addressing this issue with management there is constant blame shifting onto other staff which doesn't lead to any real solutions. Children were constantly getting hurt by other children that had behaviours that challenge but ISS support was not able to be accessed leaving both children and staff at risk. Children that needed extra support but where not displaying behaviours that challenge did not receive the support they needed because staff were only able to focus on behaviours that challenge. I engaged in so much unpaid work trying to find a way to support all children but could not make it work. It absolutely broke my heart.
