A "Dynamic Support Register" has been designed to help professionals working with Children and Young People with learning disabilities and / or autism better respond to incidents and events that enhance the need for a "raised support" approach.

It is intended to identify and mitigate risks and opportunities for community service provision as an alternative to admission to hospital, and to support those already in hospital towards a timely discharge.

Young people on the Dynamic Support Register will be given a multi-agency review, to identify the needs of young people and ensure a timely multi-agency and organisation action plan is agreed and adhered to.

By understanding young people's needs and recognising early signs that might lead to a crisis it means that extra support can be put in place quickly, by the right people / teams / services, at the right time.

This service improves quality of care, it prevents children, young people and families having to 're-tell' their story and/or be continually re-assessed.
