Abstract
The use of 1-1 support in care homes within the healthcare system in England and Wales is a recognised protective safeguard. However, it is not without its controversies and conflicts as it can prove to be both a highly restrictive and expensive intervention. This paper will examine the use of 1-1 support within care homes for people who present with behaviours that challenge. It will record the findings from a review of 1-1 support for 23 service users over a 30-month period. It will also make a number of recommendations to make 1-1 support an effective, therapeutic, person centred and a correctly targeted resource.
