NEW: SAR Oliver - Learning Brief Now Published

The Learning Brief for Safeguarding Adult Review Oliver has now been published and is available to read on the Learning Briefs page of the website. 

Oliver is an 18-year-old male. His early childhood was impacted by domestic abuse and multiple harms, and he became a child looked after (CLA), subject to a care order and had several foster placements. This childhood trauma contributed to Oliver finding relationships difficult and engaging in behaviours that created risk such as self-harm and substance misuse. At the age of 17 he was placed under the Mental Health Act (MHA) in a Tier 4 Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services inpatient psychiatric intensive care unit, he was then moved to a general assessment unit while still under Section 3 of the Mental Health Act. Oliver then turned 18 and was moved to an adult inpatient unit. The move to this unit caused Oliver’s self-harm behaviours to escalate, and he suffered serious injuries as a result.
