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.
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 ) 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.
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?
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?
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.

Louise

Hi Louise
I am extremely concerned about Debbie Andrewes neighbour and the increased risk to the support workers and indeed
Debbie, who, as you are aware is unable to leave her own home unescorted.
Yesterday it was reported to me that the neighbour approached Barbara de Polla as she entered the communal door, he was
very aggressive and began shouting at her saying, you should not be coming here, she is an alcoholic, you shouldn’t take her
out anywhere etc." Barbara said that she did not want to talk about it and walked away from him, luckily, he did not follow her.
In relation to Debbie is safety, I strongly feel that it is only a matter of time before something serious or even fatal happens to
her. As you are aware, the neighbour has a dog, which appears to be a Staffordshire bull terrier which
