Case Studies

To protect our client’s privacy we have changed their names and used a stock images.

Client Dave

Dave, who has capacity, is in his 50’s and has autism, a learning disability and mental health issues. He is an alcoholic and estranged from his family.

The issue:

During a routine visit Dave was found with several people in his flat drinking heavily. He subsequently confirmed that these people were taking advantage of him and as a result his  mental health had deteriorated and he was at risk of taking his own life.

How we helped:

Our team immediately made a safeguarding referral and spoke to his social worker. We also contacted the local PCSO. Collectively we agreed to re-house him and assisted his move to another flat. We increased his support levels until he was settled in his new home.

The Outcome:

Dave is now happier and his behaviour has improved resulting in a lower level of support being required by all parties.

Dave said: “Thanks to the extra help that I have received I feel much safer and happier“

Paul said: “My mood and anxiety levels had really gone downhill but after talking to the support team things have turned around”
