The RAID® course is a leading approach for tackling disturbed and challenging behaviour at source: over 20,000 professionals have completed it. It is a comprehensive system which teaches professionals a philosophy and practice not only to deal with disturbed and challenging behaviour when it occurs, but also to prevent it by nurturing positive behaviour targetted to displace the disturbed and challenging behaviour.

- What to do when disruptive behaviour cannot be ignored. For example, when it is damaging or life-threatening to other clients or staff, crucial non-physical interventions.
