Care Opportunities holds a lot of clinical expertise in house, which is our unique selling point, as recommended:
“Specialist multi-disciplinary support teams focused on challenging behaviour are an essential component of modern provision” (Mansell Report, 2007)
“Proactive strategies for challenging behaviour require well–organised and managed services, employing enough well-trained staff supported by enough well-trained professional specialists (psychology, speech and language therapy, psychiatry etc).” J. Mansell, The Forward to Ethical approaches to physical interventions, Responding to challenging behaviour in people with intellectual disabilities edited by By David Allen, Published by BILD Publications 2002.
