Answer: As an Acceptable Behaviour Contract (ABC) is an informal agreement, there is no formal process for dealing with a breach. However, it is VERY important that the agencies drawing up the agreement consider how they will monitor progress and what they will do if the individual concerned does not keep to the agreement, otherwise the Acceptable Behaviour Contract (ABC) is of limited value if any at all.
