TranslateHumber and North Yorkshire Dynamic Support Keyworker Service
Our Dynamic Support Keyworkers work with autistic people and people with a learning disability aged up to 25 years who are on the Dynamic Support Register rated RED, AMBER or BLUE (inpatient).
The Dynamic Support Register is to identify people at risk or may become at risk of admission to a mental health hospital without support.
The Team
Dynamic Support Keyworkers make sure that people and their families/carers get the right support at the right time. They aim to lower admissions to mental health hospitals and support people leaving hospital.
Our service has been developed as a response to the NHS England long term plan. Full details can be found on NHS England’s Children and Young People Keyworker webpage
