Emergency Accommodation

The service user (SU) is currently residing in Semi- independent accommodation, arranged through children's services. However the SU requires a DOLs to be put in place to keep her safe, which cannot be done in the current placement. The risks have increased significantly in the current placement and the SU is unable to be kept safe at their current placement (due to being unable to implement a DOLs) therefore an emergency placement has had to be sourced. The Transitions Social Worker has contacted the provider directly and they have agreed to support the SU in their supported living in Oldham. It has been agreed by all involved professionals that an emergency application to the court of protection is needed to enforce the DOLs therefore an urgent placement has been sourced with the required level of supervision available immediately at the new placement.
