Andy* arrived at Dovecote Hall Cottage from a previous placement that unfortunately broke down. This was due to the level of trauma that he had experienced in his younger years. Andy displayed considerable levels of risk taking behaviour and was aggressive towards others. It became increasingly difficult to manage these behaviours at his previous placement and to provide the correct support, enabling Andy to progress and develop.
Andy’s key issues and needs included:
- Aggression
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Relationship difficulties
- Risk taking behaviour
