ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
This study assessed the effectiveness of a cross-departmental case review panel-the Multicap Complex Behaviour Forum (CBF)-in reducing challenging behaviour exhibited by people with intellectual disabilities.METHODS:
Thirty participants (15 CBF participants and 15 matched-control participants) took part in the study. Behavioural data was collected for each CBF participant (and their matched control) for the three-month period before entering the CBF, during their time in the CBF, and the 3 months after exiting the CBF.RESULTS:
There was a significant interaction of group and time observed, with the CBF participants showing more change in behavioural incidents across time. Associated with this change was a noticeable reduction in staff injury costs related to the challenging behaviour of the CBF participants.CONCLUSIONS:
This study demonstrates that positive behavioural and organisational outcomes are enhanced by fostering collaboration across multiple organisational systems when it comes to supporting people who exhibit challenging behaviours.Palavras-chave
