| Annotation | This paper outlines the piloting of a tool, the Newcastle Challenging Behaviour Checklist (CBC, James, Machenzie and Hope, 2010), designed to be used at Step 3 of the Faculty of the Psychology of Older People (FPOP) stepped care model (Brechin et al, 2013). The CBC provides a protocol-led methodology for identifying causes and treatment of strategies for Behaviours that Challenge (BC), and does not require input from a specialist BC team. This paper presents feedback from care home staff asked to use the CBC for the treatment of a person with dementia displaying a number of problematic behaviours, including agitation and aggression. Outcome on the effectiveness of the intervention derived from the checklist is also reported. This article builds on a previous paper, which obtained positive opinions of the CBC as an assessment tool (Rippon et al, 2014). |
