Dynamic Support Register

What is the Dynamic Support Register?

• The Dynamic Support Register is designed to help professionals across organisations, when working with individuals who have a diagnosis of Learning Disability or Autism.
• The Dynamic Support Register aims to identify risk.
• The network then works together to come up with a plan to help mitigate that risk in the medium to long-term.
• We will work together to identify provision within community services.
• The network will look to identify alternatives to hospital admission.
• Support timely discharge for individuals who are currently in mental health hospital.
• The Dynamic Support Register is NOT a crisis service. If you, or someone you know, is currently in crisis please contact your local crisis services.

Why do we need a Dynamic Support Register?

Local NHS Services need to understand the needs of individuals with a Learning Disability & Autism who might be at risk of admission to hospital. This ensures:

• that this group of people receive the correct support
• the Integrated Care Board (ICB) is required to maintain a register of individuals with a learning disability or autism who:
  • They have a mental health condition where they have been admitted to hospital or likely to need admission to hospital.
  • Display behaviours or likely to display behaviours where their home life or placement is at risk of breaking down.
