- The notice period was given as 7 days rather than 28 days, due to the seriousness of the concerns for co-tenants and staff.

- Service user is also at high risk of further assaults, and being placed in Oldham and behaviour has escalated in current placement resulting in him being verbally aggressive towards others in the property, including making threats of violence.

- Service user is vulnerable and unable to prioritise wellbeing and lacks capacity around main decisions regarding lifestyle and wellbeing.
