Intervention

Aims to improve outcomes for children with learning disabilities and challenging behaviours by reducing rates of full-time residential care entry. The project will use the 'Positive Behavioural Support' (PBS) service. PBS is an evidence based intervention that has been proven to help to prevent children being put in residential care, where they are often isolated from their family and can become vulnerable. Along with analysing and targeting a child's challenging behaviour, PBS highlights the impact of a child's wellbeing on their behaviour, and makes every effort to improve this.

Target population

Children aged 8-13 in Bradford with learning disabilities and challenging behaviours.

INDIGO data are shared for research and policy analysis purposes. INDIGO data can be used to support a range of insights, for example, to understand the social outcomes that projects aim to improve, the network of organisations across projects, trends, scales, timelines and summary information. The collaborative system by which we collect, process, and share data is designed to advance data-sharing norms, harmonise data definitions and improve data use. These data are NOT shared for auditing, investment, or legal purposes. Please independently verify any data that you might use in decision making. We provide no guarantees or assurances as to the quality of these data. Data may be inaccurate, incomplete, inconsistent, and/or not current for various reasons: INDIGO is a collaborative and iterative initiative that mostly relies on projects all over the world volunteering to share their data. We have a system for processing information and try to attribute data to named sources, but we do not audit, cross-check, or verify all information provided to us. It takes time and resources to share data, which may not have been included in a project’s budget. Many of the projects are ongoing and timely updates may not be available. Different people may have different interpretations of data items and definitions. Even when data are high quality, interpretation or generalisation to different contexts may not be possible and/or requires additional information and/or expertise.
