time.

Has just started college today. He is gravitating back to old school friends and staff
suspect that he may have a girlfriend. Most of the missings are for short periods of
time (one hour). Rarely answers the telephone to staff when he is travelling as he
likes to listen to music on the bus and not be disturbed! Working towards the KIT

programme and 16+ team are now involved.
