Page 445 - 2015 2nd Half No Table

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 Safeguarding 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.
