Mrs. Storey described a number of incidents where she stopped Ms Figueiredo from self-harming. In one case, she reported how Ms Figueiredo had been hiding a bin bag under her pillow for two days.
When she had arrived at work, Ms. Figueiredo had been in a 'celebratory mood', and 'bounded over' to hug her. Her observation levels had been lowered, which Mrs. Storey said meant she was getting better.
The North East London NHS Trust is accused of corporate manslaughter. The ward manager on the unit, Benjamin Aninakwa, is accused of gross negligence manslaughter.
Alice Figueiredo was 22 when she died at Goodmayes Hospital in Redbridge, north-east London, in July 2015. She had been detained on the unit since February.
