Page 366 - 2015 2nd Half No Table

Sensitivity: Confidential
Classification: PROTECT
Dear Sarah,
Thank you for your email and updated information. This incident
yesterday I am assuming that this is a different incident from 15/1/16
where Mr Cordell approached Ms De Polla? Please can you confirm if
this was reported to the police, and if this was not why? This is
harassment and can be treated and reported as a criminal offence.
Yes, this is a separate incident to 15.01.2016. The police were not called
as a crime had not been committed and Barbara was able to walk
away without Mr Cordell trying to prevent her or following her. In
relation to Deborah please can you confirm if your concerns for her
welfare are being reported back to the Mental health team prior to
this email (I do appreciate that Bola has been on leave for a few weeks)
Yvonne has copied Bola into the same communication as yourself and
expressed concerns. Debbie has also contacted Bola. I am receiving if not
daily calls from Deborah or every other day, with her explaining to me
that she feels she is not coping at all, she is looking to me for reassurance.
Deborah has expressed that she is not managing independent living and
would like to go back into supported accommodation. Supported living is
something Bola would need to arrange. Can you confirm that you have
reported your concerns for Debbie’s welfare to the mental health team?
Please can you confirm if she has expressed this to staff at St John of god?
Also, please can you confirm if you feel that Deborah is not coping at
present. If so, has this been reported to the mental health team?
As you are aware, Debbie has said that she is not coping and I understand
that you are in the process of providing a report in order to facilitate
Debbie to move. Can you confirm that this has been completed and if so,
what the next step of the process is and how long this is likely to take?
Also given the current hours that currently allocated to Deborah if this is
suitable in this situation for her need? If I recall this was expressed at a
SOVA meeting that this should be extended as her needs are becoming
greater? We are requested and funded to provide 6 hours support per
week (3 hours twice a week for shopping). Bola is responsible for
increasing the care package if Debbie is assessed as needing more
support. With regard to the Safe guarding plan I do feel that a mental
health strategy meeting needs to take place as issues beyond our control
will also have a direct impact on the wellbeing of Deborah. I am raising
this directly with George Benyure Bolas manger. My understanding was
that Bola had already raised a safeguarding alert?
Regards
Louise
