The child is moving on the 2nd June so the location is not yet confirmed, however initially we will be implementing online teaching so this can take place from any location.

This child is extremely vulnerable and has suffered from neglect, domestic abuse, bullying, parental drug and alcohol misuse and significant family bereavement. Due to this and having a negative male role model in his life, he can present with persistent challenging behaviour and innappropriate sexualised behaviour.
