Behaviour of concern
The most frequent types of behaviour observed were deliberate self harm,
verbal aggression and disruptive behaviour – this includes refusing support,
interrupting other people’s support, and threatening or intimidating others.
There were 1094 occurrences of behaviour of concern recorded across
the complex needs cohort in 2022-2023. 87% of these occurrences
were resolved without injury, need for as required medications, physical
interventions, other restrictions or emergency services.
61% of the people we supported had a
decrease in frequency and severity of behavioural
occurrences compared to the previous year.
Setting events were analysed for
each occurrence. A setting event
is something that is most likely to
influence a particular behaviour to
occur. This is useful because it tells
us if there are themes or common
events we can reduce or further
support, that will enable the person
to feel better, more competent or
comfortable.
