Support should be delivered in the following levels:- - Level 1 - DBI level 1 is provided by frontline staff and involves compassionate response, signposting and offering of referral to a DBI level 2 service. - Level 2 - DBI level 2 is provided by commissioned and trained third sector staff who contract the person within 24 hours of referral and provide compassionate community based problem solving support, wellness and distress management planning, supported connections and signposting for a period of up to 14 days.
