Abstract

The focus of the article is on the main aspects of prevention in the work with children with challenging behaviour, particularly in cases where there is a high risk of violent behaviour which may require the use of physical intervention by educational staff. The aspects of the risk caused by this behaviour are presented as well as the aspects related to the interventions. Paying particular attention to local legislation and policies on combating bullying and violence in pre-school and school education, the main risk factors have been identified. The importance of prevention at the stage of escalation when challenging behaviour has been observed is highlighted.
