Caroline Essame: Nature matters — Rethinking what lies beneath some of the challenges facing multi agency responses to behaviour

When behaviour is seen only at the surface, we miss the deeper story. In this thought-provoking session, Caroline Essame invites us to reframe how we understand and respond to behaviour, particularly when multiple agencies are involved. What assumptions, systems, or unseen biases might be shaping our responses? And what could change if we truly considered what lies beneath?
