The Challenging Behaviour Foundation is a small, national charity for children and adults with severe learning disabilities who display behaviour described as challenging, and their families.

The CBF vision is for anyone with severe learning disabilities who displays challenging behaviour to have the same life opportunities as everyone else. The CBF works to improve understanding of challenging behaviour, empower families with information and support and to help others provide better services

What we do

• We provide practical information for families and professionals about understanding and supporting children, young people and adults whose behaviour challenges.
• Our Family Support Workers can offer individual support and information over the phone and by email.
• We also offer peer-to-peer support through our Carers' Catch-Ups, and email networks for family carers and for professionals.
• We offer a range of workshops to families and professionals, co-delivered by a professional trainer and a family carer trainer.
• We listen to the experiences of families and use these to highlight the needs of individuals whose behaviour challenges and their families.
