He had numerous referrals to the Substance Misuse team from his family and housing manager due to falls, being vulnerable under the influence of alcohol, therisk from assault, being a danger to him, plus he had been the victim of break-ins to his flat and robbery. In this case, Mr K was not being abused by an outsider but his actions were making him extremely vulnerable. Joint visits were arranged between the alcohol team with his family, housing manager and neighbours with social services. Mr K was yet again admitted to hospital following an injury he experienced from a fall. He undertook a medication regime in thehospital to alleviate alcohol withdrawal symptoms and remained alcohol-free. A joint visit was arranged to his flat following his discharge from thehospital between the social worker and alcohol team. The risk factors identified prior to admission were greatly reduced. Housing, social services, family and alcohol team agreed to liaise in the future if support was required. (http://safeguarding.dudley.gov.uk/adult/friend-relative-carer/case-studies/).
