Social workers did not know how best to care for Kiran Bharaj
A coroner has called for social workers to be given better training and guidance relating to eating disorders after the death of a Blackpool woman in a house fire.
Kiran had a history of complex mental health issues and was under the care of both mental health services at Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust , and the community mental health team within adult social care services from Blackpool Council, at the time of her death. Unlike the council, LSCFT has carried out an internal review ‘to learn any lessons that might help to prevent any further incidents of this nature’. This found a number of care and service delivery problems relating to care Kiran had received.
Kiran's family have since said that they believe that a lack of accountability, the ongoing refusal to engage them in decisions about the care that Kiran needed, and a lack of training, understanding and awareness around eating disorders contributed to her death. Further, there were serious concerns raised by the family that they had been left in the dark whilst Kiran deteriorated despite ongoing attempts to seek help for her.
Mr Wilson wrote: "Eating disorders are increasingly prevalent. An eating disorder is a mental disorder and with a known high risk of mortality. Many vulnerable people live in the community with support from adult social care, but who may not have access to specialist eating disorder services, perhaps due to a lack of availability or because they are reluctant to engage with specialist services.
