BACKGROUND:
A full Care Orders were granted in respect of Peter Lee and his siblings in March 2015
because of domestic violence, substance use and neglect. The siblings are in separate
placement and see each other. Peter Lee is diagnosed with Autism. He moved to his long
term foster carers Liz and Billy on 20th March 2016.
PARENTS VIEWS:
Mr Faulkner is aware he needs to make contact with Social Care in order to be risked
assessed for contact with his son. He has so far made no contacts and therefore Peter Lee
does not have any contact with his son.
Sam was present at Peter’s review and continues to be happy with the care he receives from
his foster carers.
PLACEMENT:
Liz explained that Peter Lee is doing well but does not like being showed how to do things.
This was said in the context of Liz helping him to develop his independence skills. He can
make a cup of tea, pot noodles, charges his Ipad and empty his paper bin.
Peter Lee likes to sit down at his computer all the time. However, Liz does encourage Peter
Lee to do other things during the day. Peter lee is in a good routine, his self-care is good, for
instance he brushes his teeth regularly and showering is not an issue. Peter Lee now uses an
electric shaver. Generally, Liz explained Peter lee misses going to the caravan, youth club
and fortnightly breaks with Julie and Martin. Liz’s husband is currently furloughed and Liz still
works.

Peter Lee is healthy. He is up to date with all his immunisations. He saw the dentist on
14.5.19, the optician on 25.11.19 and his last Health Assessment was on 3.12.19.
He is now wearing hearing aids on both ears after being tested at BRI. It was established that

Peter Lee started attending the Co-op Academy Southfield in April 2019 and is in year nine.

He is in the Oasis provision which is for high functional autistic children. The main areas at
the moment, Peter Lee and professionals including Liz and Billy are concentrating on is
improving his social skills as well as patience and tolerance of others. For instance, Peter Lee
will quite happily talk with the staff and not to other pupils all day. In terms of his impatience,

another person. Peter Lee having to wait was becoming very agitated and impatient.
