What are
Behaviours of Concern?
​​
Behaviour concerns are totally different from person to person; in general, there is no one size to fit all, but here are some examples which may help you to have a clear understanding of the behaviour of concern.
The term "behaviours of concern" refers to behaviours that can be challenging, disruptive, or potentially harmful to oneself or others. Some examples of behaviours of concern may include aggression, self-harm, property destruction, substance abuse, verbal or physical outbursts, and non-compliance with rules or authority figures.
Addressing behaviours of concern proactively and compassionately is essential to promote safety and well-being for all involved. Strategies for managing behaviours are based on evidence based and person-centred information collected and assessed by NDIS commission and registered for specialist behaviour support.
Disruptive Behaviour.
Disruptive behaviour may include yelling, interrupting, or refusing to follow the rules or instructions.
Agression.
Physical or verbal aggression towards others can be a severe behaviour of concern. This interaction may include threatening or intimidating behaviour, yelling, pushing, hitting, or throwing objects.
Self Harm.
This refers to any behaviour that intentionally harms oneself, such as cutting, burning, or other forms of self-mutilation
Sexualized Behaviour.
Any sexual and inappropriate or unwelcome behaviour can be a behaviour of concern. This action may include unwanted touching, sexual comments, or exposing oneself.

Bullying can take many forms, including physical, verbal, or online harassment. It can involve spreading rumours, exclusion, or intimidation.
Withdrawal.
