STAR Approach for analysing why challenging behaviour is happening.
STAR stands for:
Setting
Triggers
Actions
Response
Recording behaviour incidents in this way may mean that over time you may begin to see more of a pattern in behaviours and triggers/purposes which may then help in understanding how to reduce the frequency and severity of escalations, which may have a positive impact on attendance.
