What is ‘Behaviour that Challenges’?

“Behaviour of such an intensity, frequency or duration that the physical safety of the person or others is likely to be placed in serious jeopardy, or behaviour which is likely to seriously limit or deny access to and use of ordinary community facilities; or

Behaviour that is likely to impair a child’s personal development and family life and which represents a challenge to services, to families and to the children themselves, however caused.”

(Emerson et al 2001)
