Some ofthe clients have<br>been complex due to the increased<br>number of<br>those with backgrounds<br>ofvarious abuses, both<br>physical and substance<br>related. Our|
|||||||relationship<br>with Pier Road Project, part ofthe|
|||||||South London and Maudsley<br>NHS Foundation|
|||||||Trust based charity in Erith, Kent, has grown|
|||||||substantially<br>with over 30calls over the period|
|||||||and nearly 80emails that were a mixture of|
|||||||referrals<br>and ongoing cases. We reiterate that|
|||||||the number ofclients does not necessarily|
|||||||mirror how busy we have been.<br>One client|
|||||||having complicated<br>debts can absorb more|
|||||||working hours than several 'straightforward'|
|||||||clients put together.|
|||||||In common<br>with every organisation,<br>the|
|||||||Coronavirus<br>pandemic<br>changed our working|
|||||||practices.<br>Face-to-face meetings<br>were replaced|
|||||||with Zoom video calls and office working was|
|||||||moved to home working.<br>All records were|
|||||||transferred<br>to on-line as access to paper files|
|||||||was replaced with pdfs. Consequently,<br>as|
|||||||people grappled<br>with the pandemic<br>the|
|||||||number oftotal hours spent in client|
|||||||appointments<br>fell to a low of15(202020/21j.|
|||||||However, over 1,220 (1,025 2020/21) emails|
|||||||were exchanged over client debts, with some|
|||||||emails having multiple<br>layers behind them.|
