• She said that her son has a work history. In 2010 he was planning to set up a business in
the entertainment industry. He has also built websites in relation to this. At present he is
not in employment. He is in receipt of Employment Support Allowance but needs to
make an application for Personal Independent Payment.
• I asked her if she thinks her son has a mental illness; she told me that he suffers from
stress and anxiety due to issues with the neighbours but does not think he has a mental
illness. She said that the judged looked at evidence and did not grant a warrant in
October 2018 for a mental health act to take place at her son’s flat.
• I asked Ms Cordell if she thinks her son could benefit from support from the community
team. She said that he could do with some support but “we should stop labelling him as
being delusional as he is not delusional”.

7. After-Care
• Potentially Mr Cordell care/treatment would be delivered via the Care Programme
Approach. I am the allocated Care Coordinator and he will have a responsible clinician in
the community.
• My role would be first of all to build a relationship with Mr Cordell as I have only met
him on 2 occasions. I will try to motivate him to engage with myself and the
multidisciplinary team. As his Care Coordinator I will review Mr Cordell regularly
independently and with the Community RC.
• We have a Team Clinical Psychologist and it would be vital for Mr Cordell to have some
form of talking therapy. This is on the basis of the stress and anxiety that his mother
states he suffers from.
• We have a Dual Diagnosis Worker in the team who could offer drug counselling if
necessary.
• We have an organisation called ‘Remploy’ which is funded by the Local Authority.
Potentially they could support Mr Cordell to find work. They meet regularly with clients
whilst they are in work and also liaise with employers.
• I could support Mr Cordell in making an application for PIP. Alternatively he could get
that support from ‘Enfield Well-Being Connect’
• The Mental Health Enablement Team could provide support in tenancy management as
well as support to access education/training and work.
8. Opinion and recommendations
• I have met Mr Cordell on two occasions only and I have not had the opportunity to
assess him in the community. A rapport needs to be established with him.
• On the basis of recent events, history of risks to self and alleged risks towards others and
taking into account the views of the MDT on the ward I think that he would benefit from
a longer stay in hospital. This is in-order for the MDT to assess him comprehensively to
determine if he has a severe and enduring mental illness such as
schizophrenia/psychosis. If it is determined that he has a severe mental illness, then this
should be treated accordingly whilst he is in hospital.
