What is a Dynamic Support Register

A Dynamic support register is sometimes called a DSR.

The DSR is a list of people in the Wakefield area who have a Learning Disability and/or a diagnosis of Autism.

The people on the DSR are at risk of being admitted to a hospital setting if they do not get the right community care, treatment, and support in the place they live. This applies to adults , young people and children.

The DSR  helps professionals from both health and care services decide the type of support a person needs to stay well at home.

For a referral to the DSR to be accepted the referred person must have capacity to give informed consent. This means that they can understand information to be able to make decisions about their life. Where capacity is suspected to be lacking, at the time of referral, a best interest decision must be made. For a child or young person, a person with parental responsibility can give consent.  Please see the referral form for more information about capacity.
