Tony’s story

Tony had been referred to Project Foundation for the second time, now scoring as high-risk following two incidents.

As his contact details were out of date, the Foundation Practitioner requested a joint visit with the allocated officer. During the visit, Tony’s brother initially answered the door, stating Tony was not at home. However, after a brief conversation and clarifying that he was not going to be arrested, Tony came to the door. He engaged in a conversation with the Foundation Practitioner about how Foundation could support him to access housing and work with him to prevent further police incidents, and subsequently requested time to consider the offer.

When the Foundation Practitioner contacted him the following week, Tony agreed to meet with the practitioner and complete an assessment, sharing that he did not want things to continue as they were and that he was frightened of going to prison. Following the assessment, he remains engaged with Foundation.
