Darryl

Darryl is a 16-year-old who lives with his single mother and younger disabled brother. He has recently been excluded from school after making racist remarks to one of the teachers. He has a history of substance misuse and regularly smokes synthetic cannabis with some newfound older friends who have taken him under their wing.

Darryl has arrived in the first-aid post with a head wound which he says was caused as a result of a fight with two Asian boys. He says that he was involved in a fight with these youths whilst attending a rally by supporters of a far-right organisation calling for the banning of Islam. Darryl became very agitated when an Asian nurse tried to treat him and said “I don’t want to be touched by a foreigner”.
