Clients using the service may be vulnerable and suffer from learning disabilities, behavioural problems, sensory or hearing difficulties, autistic spectrum disorder or another physical disability.

The DPS period can be later amended (extended, shortened, terminated), subject to the notification on the relevant standard forms.
