About Them:
Our service user is 26 and has a diagnosis of Chromosome 18 deletion syndrome, a very rare chromosomal disorder. He also has a moderate learning disability and autism, which can cause him to display very difficult and challenging behaviours. Staff are required to support, reassure, and follow the behaviour support plan and PRN protocol during these times to ensure safety for both staff and the service user.
There is significant input from the learning disability team, family, and social work to support staff with challenges. The service user is mobile and nonverbal but communicates effectively using assistive technology and communication skills developed with the current team. Training on behaviours that challenge will be provided, along with shadowing shifts with experienced staff.
