The young people are not really      asking for anything out of the      ordinary. They are looking for      someone to listen to them,      support them, give them some      guidance...

How to use the Toolkit

How to use the Toolkit

1. Select "find your topic" button.
   
   
2. Then select a section from the left-hand index that relates to the troubling behaviour you want information about.
   
   
3. From the key words/phrases at the top of the page, select your choice.
   
   

You can move to different parts of the page using the links in the orange panel at the top.

Clicking on the underlined links within the text will take you to other relevant topics.

You can also click on the "index of all topics" button on the left, or "all topics" in the top left-hand corner of any page, to see a full list of the topics contained within the toolkit.

Most topics will give you information on:

• What the topic is about
• Things to think about in trying to understand what may be causing the child or young person's behaviour
• Thinking about your own response and how that may be affecting the child or young person's behaviour
• What you can do
• When to seek further support and help.

Many topics also have video clips of specialist workers speaking about the particular behaviour. If a topic has video clips, the following icon will be shown

The Techniques section will give you information on specific techniques which can be used for many of the behaviours you see.

We hope you will find the toolkit useful and we welcome your feedback on how to make it better.

If you would like to give feedback on a specific topic, please use the link on the appropriate page where the icon is shown. If you have general comments about the toolkit, please e-mail us.
