BRIEFING PAPERS
We have attached briefing papers produced by the CPSU
Managing Challenging Behaviour
"Staff/volunteers who deliver sports activities to children may, on occasions, be required to deal with a child's challenging behaviour. These guidelines aim to promote good practice and to encourage a proactive response to supporting children to manage their own behaviour. They suggest some strategies and sanctions which can be used and also identify unacceptable sanctions or interventions which must never be used by staff or volunteers
