The people within this scheme will require high levels of specialist support due to the complexity of their needs.

The support required will be detailed in each person's individual support plan, however it is likely to include support with personal care, accessing the community, and helping the person to manage their own behaviour through understanding potential triggers and developing strategies to manage these.
