Recommended behaviour change training level

To create a culture where healthy behaviours can thrive, all of us should ideally be trained to Behaviour Change Literacy Level (BCL). This level includes learning on understanding and applying behaviour change.
Workers who typically engage with people who have an admin need from them will ideally be trained to Behaviour Change Level 1 (BC1). This involves training in very brief interventions. For example: a Care Navigator who helps people find important information.
Workers who mostly engage with people who have a health or social care need will ideally be trained to Behaviour Change Level 2 (BC2), this involved training in brief and extended brief interventions. For example: a doctor who is treating someone with diabetes getting training in motivational interviewing.
Workers who mostly see people who have complex needs linked to behaviour ideally need to be trained to Behaviour Change Level 3 (BC3). This involves becoming confident with high intensity interventions, and typically requires specialist training over longer periods of time. For example: a psychologist who helps people to quit gambling receiving training in cognitive behavioural therapy.
