The Challenging Behaviour Foundation

The Challenging Behaviour Foundation (The CBF) is a registered charity that was founded in 1997 by Vivien Cooper OBE, the parent of a child with severe learning disabilities whose behaviour challenges.
We are the only charity focussed specifically on children, young people and adults with severe learning disabilities whose behaviour challenges.
All that The CBF does aims to improve the life opportunities and quality of life for children and adults with severe learning disabilities and their families. We believe the best way to do that is by working together, investing in families and taking action to uphold people’s rights.

- Description
The CBF Family Support Service can provide information and support about the needs of your relative with a severe learning disability. We can help you navigate the complex health, education and social care systems. Our support is confidential and we won’t judge you or tell you what to do.
Open to parents, siblings or other close relatives of children, young people or adults with severe learning disabilities who display behaviour that challenges.
By severe learning disabilities, we mean someone with very limited or no verbal communication, as well as a great difficulty in learning new skills or completing everyday tasks.
