Our Services

Worcestershire is committed to supporting people with a LD and a diagnosed MH and autism, who present with high risk of harm to self and others, and present with behaviour that challenges services within community settings.

The Enhanced Care Service Team's aim is to promote the independence, inclusion and wellbeing of people with learning disabilities who have complex behavioural needs. We do this by working intensively with the people we support, their families and partner agencies to deliver innovative, high quality services.

The ECS works in close partnership with families, friends, domiciliary care providers, professionals and significant others in order to provide:

1. Develop, review and monitor risk assessments using a range of appropriate risks assessments
2. Develop and review relapse plans that will aim to prevent admission to in-patient services
3. Develop and review Positive Behavioural support plans, to prevent future escalation of behaviours
4. Provide professional and clinical support at the time of crisis to enable the implementation of the above.
5. Provide advice to those supporting the individual at the time of crisis, aiming to reduce risks and stabilise any behavioural challenge
6. Develop and review discharge plans for in-patient services that support timely discharge to the community
7. Review any further care plans that will ensure stability within the community based placement
