Who you are and in what capacity you know the patient, how long you have worked
with them: My name is Soobah Appadoo. I am a CPN with the above-named team. I
have been asked to compile this social circumstance report in support of above-named
patient’s Mental Health Review Tribunal (MHRT) appeal against his detention under
Section 2 of the Mental Health Act.
• Mr Cordell was admitted on section 2 on the 26th October 2018.
• Mr Cordell was previously under the care of the Early Intervention Team for 3 years. The
Early Intervention Team discharged him in June 2018 and at that point he was referred
to our team. There is a suggestion on RIO notes that he did not engage well with that
team.
• I was allocated to Mr Cordell in August 2018. We offered him an appointment at his flat
on the 31st August. Mr Cordell rang our office the day before and spoke to me. I
informed him that I am his new Care Coordinator. He said that he had been seen for "76
days by his CC" and there was "nothing wrong with me". He said that the reason we
want to see him is to "cover for missing signatures?". He said he "will ruin anyone who
come to my house" and he has "recording cameras and audios" to ruin us. He said if you
come to my house "I f...ing will scar you for life". He used foul languages throughout this
contact. He said that I "can take the f...ing referral and stick it up my a..e". He said that
he does not want to see us. I could not interrupt him: very verbally aggressive with
pressure in speech". I did manage to say that we are a different team from Lucas House
and we want him to have a fresh start- He said "I don't f...ing care"
• Further to that the MDT advised that we should assess Mr Cordell in clinic due to the
potential risks. We then offered him an appointment on the 28th September which Mr
Cordell did not attend.

telephone conversation with Mr Cordell’s mother.

He was discharged on the 27 August 2016. According to RIO notes Mr Cordell “was
arrested at his home address after his mother raised concerns about his mental state -
he was allegedly verbally threatening towards his neighbour and (?) neighbour's
children. Simon's mother called police who arrested him. He was seen by the FME at
Wood Green police station, was then referred for MHA.”

from Section 2 on the 26 August 2016.
2. Leading to current admission
• As I stated above leading to this admission Mr Cordell did not attend appointments
offered to him by our service. Subsequently due to the allegations made against him I
was advised to attend a Safeguarding meeting for an alleged victim. In that meeting I
was informed by the Council that Mr Cordell has a past and current history of physical
and verbal aggression towards residents in the building. I was informed that the council
has tried to work with Mr Cordell but to no avail. I had informed me that Mr Cordell was
