These are called requirements. These requirements will be discussed with you. You will be told when the application is made and the names of your supervisor and the doctor who is to be in charge of your mental health treatment in the community. As soon as the application is accepted your supervised discharge can start. You will get a letter and you will also be told what this means.
Supervised discharge lasts for six months in the first place.
It may be renewed for a further six months and then for a year at a time. Your supervisor will keep in touch with you to make sure that you are getting the after-care services, and check that you are keeping to any requirements. You cannot be forced against your will to stay at any place you are taken to. Any authorised person must have proper identification. If anything goes wrong while you are on supervised discharge, your supervisor will try to discuss the problem with you and call a meeting of your care team to look at your case.
