Understanding the behaviour cycle

Hannah Smith, Head of Fast Responder

An in-depth look at the ‘behaviour cycle’ – a visual tool used to bring those supporting a learner, together. We delve into what the behaviour cycle is and how it can build a collaborative understanding of behaviours observed. We then look at how this can assist in identifying early warning signs and formulating proactive strategies to support with behaviours that challenge. Read our blog on the behaviour cycle.
