Briefing on the Dynamic Support Register and Care (Education) and Treatment Review policy and guidance
Following the deaths of Joanna, Jon and Ben at Cawston Park, a safeguarding adults review and a national review were undertaken. They looked at the safety and wellbeing of people with a learning disability and autistic people who are being cared for in a mental health inpatient setting. The findings helped inform the development of the January 2023 Dynamic support register and Care (Education) and Treatment Review policy and guidance.
Our briefing sets out the key changes in the policy and guidance, the key issues for ICBs and next steps for councils.
