This module explores challenging behaviour from a variety of perspectives and provides an overview of individual and contextual factors which may influence children and young people's behaviour. Theoretical perspectives will be discussed during seminar workshops in relation to problematizing children and young people's social, emotional and mental health. Particular attention will be paid to `causes' of challenging behaviour, individual and whole school approaches to managing behaviour and to the importance of recognising pupil voice and increasing pupil participation. Students will be encouraged to reflect on and critique alternative educational provisions.
