Dear Mrs Cordell,

Re: Simon Cordell- 109 Burncroft Avenue, Enfield, EN3 7JQ

We write further to your emails, enquiring about the progress of your son’s
management transfer application.

We advised you by email on 16/08/2018 that Simon could make a management
transfer application and if successful, the transfer will be made on a like for like basis.
We explained that as Simon lives in a one bedroom flat he will be transferred to
another property like the one he currently has, if his application is successful.

You explained to us that in view of his mental health problems you did not feel that a
like for like transfer was appropriate and asked that he be transferred to a supported
accommodation or to a larger property. We explained to you that for the Community
Safety Unit to consider such an application they would need to have the Mental Health
Team involved. You then explained that Simon was given an appointment to see Dr
Benyure from the Enfield Community Mental Health Services on 31/08/2018, and it
was agreed that the management transfer application will be put on hold until the next
Panel meeting on 28/09/2018, to allow time for the Mental Health assessment to be
carried out.

We have since been advised that Simon failed to attend the scheduled appointment
and did not engage with the Mental Health team. As this meant there was no report to
support a management transfer application the Community Safety Unit was unable to
submit an application on his behalf. The Panel would require medical evidence in
support of an application for a supported accommodation or for a larger property and
we did not have one by the date of the last Panel meeting on 28/09/2018.
