People on the Dynamic Support Register, which is sometimes called a DSR, are at risk of going into a mental health hospital if they do not get the right care and treatment in the community. The DSR tells health and care staff about the type of support a person with a learning disability or an autistic person needs to stay well at home.

The DSR is different to the Learning Disability and Autism register, that can for example provide access to extra support when you visit the doctors.
