Our priority is to get Halima assessed and to look at whether we can get her to re-engage with her treatment.
Her medical records are still Leicester’s responsibility so it would be good to agree on a way to have them transferred here so we’re her primary health care region.
If Halima can be brought in for disturbing the peace, we can arrange for Community Mental Health Services to visit her while she is in custody for assessment. However, this is a reactive situation. It assumes Halima will be causing a disturbance again where I’d rather be more proactive in finding a way to have her mental health assessed.
We can ask community officers to try and engage with her, but she has not been responsive to this in the past.
We can look at providing Halima some private short-term accommodation solutions. However, we would need her to engage in that, she currently isn’t asking for any help with accommodation.
I’d really like to see Halima challenged on some of the things she’s saying, and a counsellor or intervention provider could be the right person to do this.
I’d certainly be comfortable if one of our team had the initial conversations with her to sound out these ideas and perhaps see why she is saying them in public. I’d be looking for evidence of an ideology as opposed to someone with autism who sees the world in a very literal way. This would inform any assessment of her care and support needs.
