Describe where
the incident took
place and where
the person had
been.
Detail what the
environment was
like (e.g. hot, cold,
crowded, busy
with activity)
Detail what the
person was
engaged in prior
to the behaviour
(e.g. making a
drink, watching TV,
interacting with
others, reading,
listening to music)
Tips for completing a STAR chart
• Record only what you observe yourself.
Describe who was
with the person
and what they
were doing, or not
doing at the time.
Was the person’s
routine disrupted?
Was the person
unwell?
Was the person
attempting to
communicate and
need or want?
Describe precisely
what happened.
What did the
behaviour look,
sound and feel
like?
Write it like
directions for a
stage play. So
someone who
has never seen
the behaviour
could clearly
imagine what the
behaviour episode
looked like.
• Record only those behaviours that are on the agreed list of target behaviours.
• Record the target behaviour as soon as possible after it was observed by you.
For the behaviour you have identified, summarise this information in a STAR Chart.
What steps
did you take to
de-escalate the
person?
What strategy
did you employ?
(e.g. active
listening,
relaxation,
redirection,
negotiation).
