| DSR |
Dynamic Support Register |
A list of children and young people who are autistic and/or have a learning disability who are at risk of having to go into hospital. If a person’s name is added to the list it means that their needs might be discussed with other professionals such as social workers and teachers.
People do not have to be on the DSR, and can change their mind at any
time – however, to be allocated a keyworker with The Keyworker Collaborative, we do need the person to be on this. |
| RAG Rating |
Red Amber Green Rating |

Red: This person is at immediate risk of being admitted to hospital
Amber: Without immediate help, there is a risk that this person will be admitted to hospital
Green: The risks that could lead to admission to hospital are well managed
Blue: This person is currently in hospital |

| C(E)TR |
Care (Education) & Treatment Review |
A meeting that reviews the care of a person who may be at risk of going into hospital (Community CETR) or currently in hospital (Inpatient CETR). This happens only with the consent of this person.
This will involve a panel of people including a member of the ICB, an expert by experience, and a professional from a relevant area. The person can attend if they wish, but do not have to, and they can involve another person they trust, such as an advocate, friend or family member.
A CETR is the same as a CTR, but also includes the person’s education needs. |
| LAEP |
Local Area Emergency Protocol (Also referred to as Urgent C(E)TR or Blue Light) |
A meeting arranged urgently (within a week) that addresses the needs of a person in crisis to come up with short-term plans to reduce immediate risk of going into hospital.
This meeting may happen if a person is identified at a ‘Red’ risk rating. This does not replace a C(E)TR, but may happen while a C(E)TR is being arranged, as C(E)TRs can take around 2 weeks to organise. |
| HP |
Hospital Passport |
A document designed to provide important information about a person to hospital staff. This is completed by the person (or a responsible adult e.g. parent/carer) and kept with them. |
