Dynamic Support Register (DSR)
New route to referring to the Dynamic Support Register
What is the Dynamic Support Register (DSR)?
Coventry and Warwickshire’s Dynamic Support Register is a register of people with a learning disability and autistic people, including those considered to be at risk of admission to a mental health hospital.
It brings together health, social care, education and other system partners to provide good quality support at the right time and in the right plan with the aim of preventing unnecessary hospital admissions for people with a learning disability and autistic people.
Self referral
A self-referral form is now available via the Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care System (ICS) website, so that people with a learning disability and autistic people, their parents/carers or a health professional can refer them to the DSR.
The DSR Team does not provide an emergency crisis response service and works 9am – 5pm Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays).
If you are referring yourself or someone close to you, please note that:
- We will contact you within 5 working days to take further information to understand their current needs and help us to manage your referral. Information submitted will be shared with colleagues from health and social care to discuss current needs, levels of risk and potential sources of support.
- If the person is added to the DSR, their information will be shared with organisations who may be providing support, depending where they live including:
- Coventry City Council or Warwickshire County Council
- Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care Board
- Coventry and Warwickshire Mind
- Fine Futures

Referral Information
When referral decisions are being made, it is important that all relevant information about the DSR is shared with the person the referral is for, plus those with parental responsibility (if applicable) and services that support them.
Consent: Information about the DSR is available in various formats to ensure that the person can understand, retain and weigh up information about this decision, so that they are able to give informed consent. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.
If a person is assessed as not having the capacity to give informed consent, a best interest decision can be made under the Mental Capacity Act to be referred to the DSR.
It is important to know that not consenting to join the register will not affect the person’s current support.
For a referral to be accepted it is essential that:
1. The person has capacity to give informed consent or
A best interest decision has been made on behalf of them if they don’t have
capacity.
and
2. The person has a diagnosis of a Learning Disability or Autism
