Social worker sexually abused women
Published Date: 12 February 2010A SOCIAL worker has been struck off for sexually abusing his clients.While working for Kirklees Council in 1997, Leslie Healey told a female service user he wanted to have sex with her.
He was removed as her social worker but about three years later used his position to find out her address and sent her a Christmas card.
And while working for North Yorkshire County Council in 2006, he visited another female service user at home, even though he was no longer her allocated social worker.
Here, he pushed her against a wall, tried to kiss her and touched her breasts and bottom.
Healey started a sexual relationship with a third female service user in 1998, taking her and her family on holidays and lending them more than £4,000.
He used his position as a social worker to pass confidential information to the family - information given from the children's school to North Yorkshire County Council.
Healey had admitted some of the allegations but denied sexual misconduct.
He did not attend a four-day hearing at the General Social Care Council in London this week and the allegations were proved in his absence.
Healey no longer works for either Kirklees Council or North Yorkshire County Council.
He was removed from the Social Care Register yesterday

North Yorkshire social worker Leslie Healey who had sex with client struck off
11:04am Saturday 13th February 2010
A SOCIAL worker from North Yorkshire has been struck off for having sex with a service user.
Leslie Healey, who was employed by North Yorkshire County Council, started a sexual relationship with the woman in 1998, the General Social Care Council’s conduct committee found.
He also lent the woman £5,000, took her on holiday with her family, acted as her child’s godparent and showed her confidential information about her that had been passed on to the council by a school.
Later, in 2008, Healey was found to have visited the woman, despite being instructed not to.
The committee said his behaviour amounted to “serious misconduct” and showed “flagrant dishonesty”.
A report from the committee read: “Removal was the only appropriate sanction. This is due to the serious and deliberate sexual abuse, the dishonesty and persistent failure to address and recognise the inappropriate professional behaviours.”
The report continued: “Whilst the committee noted the registrant’s apology and remorse, he continued to deny the sexually exploitative aspects of his behaviour and its impact on vulnerable service users.”
In a separate incident in 2006, while still employed by North Yorkshire County Council, Healey was found to have visited another service user at her home, where he groped her and attempted to kiss her.
At that time, he had no longer been the woman’s allocated social worker.
Earlier, while working for Kirklees Metropolitan Borough Council in 1997, Healey had told a service user he wanted to have sex with her.
He was removed as her social worker but about three years later used his position to find out her address and sent her a Christmas card.
Healey did not attend the hearing at the General Social Care Council in London and the allegations were proved in his absence.
He no longer works for either Kirklees Council or North Yorkshire County Council and has been removed from the Social Care Register
Oftsed inspector who lured teenage girls to strip in internet webcam chats is jailed
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
Last updated at 3:58 PM on 15th February 2010
A former Ofsted inspector who admitted getting teenage girls to strip during internet webcam chats has been jailed for two years.
Ian Knight - who also sat as a magistrate in West Bromwich - lured girls into going topless during webcam chats by posing as a 19-year-old named Reg.
Knight, 50, was caught out during a conversation with a 12-year-old identity created by police in a covert operation investigating internet child sex offences.
Raid: A laptop computer containing lurid web chats was confiscated when police swooped on Knight's home
Officers then raided Knight's West Bromwich home, seizing four computers including a Fujitsu laptop that contained logs of lurid chats he had with teens.
Wolverhampton Crown Court today heard married dad-of-two Knight would mostly tell girls he was 45 and from Birmingham, but occasionally gave his age as 19.
He would repeatedly ask teenage girls to send topless pictures of themselves, before pleasuring himself in front of his webcam and asking if they could see him.
Miss Alka Brigue, prosecuting, said: 'The reason he was arrested was that police were carrying out a covert internet operation by investigating people who appeared to have a sexual interest in children and who were using the internet to make contact with young girls.
'The police made a profile of a young girl called Katie, and using chat rooms they investigated the defendant, who made contact with her a number of times.'
The court heard Knight, suspended by Ofsted shortly after his arrest in September 2007, used the internet name 'Reg' - a reference to his teaching job, where Ofsted inspectors are known as Regs.
Behind bars: Knight has been jailed for two years
His barrister said Knight found himself on teen chat sites because his Ofsted job meant he 'had time on his hands'.
Miss Blondelle Thompson, defending, said: 'These are horrendous offences and he should have known better.
'During his time at work he found himself waiting for information to come about through the internet, and with time on his hands, he accessed the chat rooms.
'He can't really explain why he participated in them, save for that he put his life into reality and virtual reality.
'Sometimes inhibitions are thrown away when your not meeting someone face to face and talking, and things just seemed to escalate. He knows how these offences are viewed and it has had far reaching consequences. He has gone from having status in society to nothing.'
Knight had pleaded guilty to 15 child sex offences at an earlier hearing.
Sentencing Mr Knight, Judge Amjad Nawaz said: 'You had the privilege of education, the privilege of a good working life, and as a result you had the respect of many people around you and were trusted with not only children but you were also in charge of people who taught children.
'These offences will have come as a bolt out of the blue to your family. You engaged in sexual activity with these young girls and you effectively encouraged them to do similar acts.
'You also encouraged them to send photos to you of them in various states of undress. It is that element that came close to grooming, which is a real concern.
'You have lost everything - not just your good character, you stand on the verge of losing your job, your family and your home.'
Knight, who has since stood down as a magistrate, was disqualified indefinitely from working with children and will be on the Sex Offenders register for 10 years.

Ex-social work boss struck off for misconduct
Social worker may be struck off over series of allegations
LYING, POOR RECORD KEEPING AND FAILURE TO VISIT CLIENTS AMONG CLAIMS AT HEARING
Published: 16/02/2010
A social worker who worked for a leading north-east charity is facing a catalogue of serious allegations over her conduct.
Jill Killen will appear in private at a disciplinary hearing in Dundee on Friday to face a series of charges relating to her time working for Grampian Society for the Blind.
Ms Killen, thought to have lived and worked in Moray, could be struck off by the Scottish Social Services Council if the allegations are upheld.
It is claimed she “failed in her duties as a social worker” and she is also accused of “lying”.
Ms Killen is alleged to have “consistently” failed to make contact with four people referred to the charity between September 2005 and July 2007 within the required 14-day period.
She is further accused of failing to make contact with one person for a year-and-a-half, and of not visiting the client for almost two years.
It has also been claimed Ms Killen took eight months to contact and visit another vulnerable person, in addition to similar charges relating to two others.
It is alleged that as a result, “vulnerable service users were not timeously assessed or provided with appropriate support or services”.
Ms Killen is also accused of failing to keep clear and accurate records of her cases, and not processing application forms which could have benefited her clients.
She is said to have acted “dishonestly” in that she allegedly shredded the management copy of her supervision notes, before falsely claiming there was no electronic copy of the papers.
The alleged failures are said to have occurred after Ms Killen received a final written warning in June 2004, following a finding of serious misconduct in which she was said to have misled her team leader about the processing of benefits forms.
Ms Killen was originally due to face the charges in September, but her hearing was postponed until last month.
It was then rearranged for this week.
Paedophile social worker is struck off
8:56am Saturday 23rd January 2010
A MAN responsible for the welfare of vulnerable North-East children has been struck off as a social worker for sexually assaulting a six-year-old girl.
Convicted paedophile Dwight McGuire worked in Darlington for four years, although his offence was committed some years before he moved to the town.
Yesterday, more details of his crimes came to light at a hearing of the General Social Care Council, in London.
It emerged that the 41-yearold American, who moved to Darlington after he secured a job as a social worker with Darlington Borough Council, had exposed himself to his victim numerous times, before indecently touching her while masturbating.
McGuire was sentenced to a year in jail in May last year after he admitted gross sexual imposition, although a search of the US sex offenders’ register revealed he is now a free man. He is listed as living in a village in Montana.
He was detained by officials at an airport in Minnesota in January last year, after his victim, who is now an adult, told police of her ordeal. The incidents happened in 1988 and 1989 while McGuire was a student. Yesterday’s committee heard that after she told police, the girl phoned McGuire in Darlington to obtain an admission from him.
With police listening in, McGuire confessed.
He was arrested shortly after when he returned to the US to visit his dying father.
Committee chairwoman Jeanette Cragg said: “This was a serious departure from the code of conduct, and confidence in social services would be undermined if he was allowed to continue as a social worker.”
Mrs Cragg said McGuire’s conduct was aggravated by a breach of trust, because the incidents were over a prolonged period and because in 2007, when the girl told the police about it, she was still deeply affected.
An investigation found no evidence that McGuire had committed any offence while working in Darlington.

A social worker from Sheffield who offered a client with alcohol issues a double whisky has been struck off. When challenged by customers, Craig McLoughlin, 54, who admitted being drunk at the time, shouted that he was the man's social worker. A committee of the General Social Care Council (GSCC) ruled that McLoughlin's actions amounted to misconduct. The panel did not uphold allegations that McLoughlin had offered his client, known as Mr A, magic mushrooms. The GSCC heard how Mr A, who had issues with psychosis linked to substance and alcohol abuse, was helped onto a detox programme by McLoughlin. 'I'll be your dad' Andrew Swan, representing the GSCC, said McLoughlin had been on his own in a city centre pub on a day off in May 2005 when he bumped into Mr A and his girlfriend. McLoughlin admitted that he had been very drunk and had consumed a bottle and a half of wine and several pints of beer, the panel heard. The committee heard how McLoughlin invited the couple, who had gone to the pub for a meal, to sit with him. McLoughlin then produced money and offered to buy whisky for Mr A. "He went on to express his view to Mr A that nobody could be without alcohol and that was despite the fact that Mr A had recently undergone detox", Mr Swan said. Mr A refused the drink. Further distress was caused to Mr A, whose father died when he was 13, when McLoughlin said "Don't worry about your dad, I'll be your dad", the tribunal heard. After McLoughlin had shouted to customers "I'm his social worker, this is our social work session", Mr A telephoned his grandmother to tell her what was going on. She then reported McLoughlin to his bosses. 'Committed chap' The GSCC committee did not find proof for allegations that McLoughlin offered Mr A some magic mushrooms, or that he asked Mr A to provide him with cannabis or sleeping tablets. McLoughlin was employed by the city council to work for the Sheffield Care Trust in mental health services from September 2004. He had been working on a temporary contract but resigned on the day of a disciplinary hearing in September 2005. Elizabeth Johnson of the Sheffield Care Trust, said: "He [McLoughlin] was a genuinely nice and committed chap, but with an alcohol problem. "The outcome for Mr A was devastating. He was lucky he had his grandmother for support." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/south_yorkshire/8347073.stm A senior social worker who used a hidden camera to film up women's skirts has been struck off. Michael Bird, who has been sacked from his job at North Tyneside Council, adapted a tennis racquet bag to conceal a digital camera. A General Social Care Council (GSCC) conduct hearing in central London heard the 55-year-old took the photos at stores in Newcastle in June 2008. He received a police caution for voyeurism and has admitted misconduct. The tribunal heard Bird, of Newcastle, used his hidden camera on four occasions, in Tesco at Kingston Park, Sainsbury's in Gosforth High Street, River Island in Eldon Square and Fenwick department store. Fight claim He was arrested on 25 June and admitted using the equipment in a department store. He told officers he had taped down the camera's record button and put a piece of fabric over the camera lens to create the illusion an item of clothing was sticking of out the bag. Police found images on his home computer and immediately alerted his employer. When asked about his arrest, Bird told his bosses at the council's emergency duty team he had been involved in a fight, but was then forced to come clean, stating he "did not know what had come over him". The recovered images were of women's upper thighs, bottoms and partially covered genitalia, the tribunal heard. 'Maintain trust' Nirupar Uddin, presenting for the GSCC, said Bird had taken the photographs for his own personal gratification. She told the hearing's panel the offences breached the codes of practice relating to social care workers, namely that individuals must strive to establish and maintain trust and confidence in service users and carers. They must also uphold public trust and confidence in social care services by not behaving in a way which would call into question an individual's suitability to work in the sector. After hearing the facts of the case, committee chairwoman Tricia Bradbury said: "There was clearly an element of premeditation, planning and sophistication involved. "The camera had to be placed in such a way that it could not be seen but still operated." She said the committee had taken into account Bird's positive references and his 25 years' service, but found it was a "serious incident of misconduct". An ex-social worker who had to be sent home early from a residential course after complaints from female colleagues has been found guilty of misconduct. A professional tribunal said that David Holder should have a caution placed on his work record over his behaviour when on a course in an Exeter hotel in 2007. Colleagues said Mr Holder had tried to get into a woman's room and called Forest of Dean residents "inbred". The Gloucestershire social worker has since retired. Mr Holder denied seven charges including claims he made inappropriate remarks to a female tutor on the course and attempted to get into the room of another female colleague. However, the General Social Care Council (GCSC) hearing in London found the charges proved and said Mr Holder was "intimidating" and not a reliable witness. The GCSC ordered that the caution remain on Mr Holder's professional record for three years. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/gloucestershire/8419662.stm A social worker accused of child sex offences following an investigation into paedophiles Colin Blanchard and Vanessa George has appeared in court. Tracy Dawber, of Guildford Road, Southport, faces 11 charges including sexual assault on a child under 13 and possessing indecent images of children. The 43-year-old, who denied all charges at an earlier hearing, has appeared at South Sefton Magistrates. The next court hearing will be on 22 December. Ms Dawber has been charged with four counts of possessing indecent images of children; five counts of permitting indecent images of children to be made; one charge of sexual assault on a child under 13; and a further count of facilitating the sexual assault of a child. She has been remanded in custody. Blanchard admitted a string of child abuse offences at Bristol Crown Court last month alongside nursery worker George and Angela Allen, both 39. Police said the charges against Dawber have no connection to the Little Ted's Nursery in Plymouth, Devon, where George worked. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/merseyside/8376012.stm A social worker who displayed “extremely poor judgement” in her handling of a case in which a child subsequently died has been struck off the register. A Care Council for Wales conduct committee found Eleni Cordingley had placed Child A at risk by failing to act on two phonecalls from the same person expressing concerns about the family. Cordingley was a social worker at Swansea Council’s social services department at the time of the case in 2005. Anonymous phonecalls After admitting misconduct at a hearing in Cardiff, she was told by committee chair Ann Teaney: “By exercising extremely poor judgement you failed to work in a safe and effective way. The misconduct admitted in this case is considered to be so serious that removal from the register is the only appropriate sanction. Council's improvement programme Swansea Council said in a statement that the child’s death “was a terrible tragedy and [we are] very sorry that it happened”. It added that a serious case review had found the child was not known to social services prior to the first phonecall. The council said it had acted on the report’s recommendations and worked with the Care and Social Services Inspectorate Wales to strengthen its services for vulnerable children. Wendy Fitzgerald, cabinet member for social services, said the council had already invested £350,000 in recruiting additional social workers this year. Related articles A SOCIAL worker who had sex with a mentally ill woman from Camberley has been struck off the social care register. David Cookson was employed by Surrey County Council as a locum when he slept with the woman known as Ms A after becoming her key worker in 2006. The 44-year-old from Southampton only admitted having sex with her when she later revealed she was pregnant. Last year, he was convicted at Guildford Crown Court of having a sexual relationship while in the position of care of a vulnerable adult. He was placed on the sex offenders’ register for five years and ordered to attend a group work programme. Now an independent committee of the General Social Care Council (GSCC) has removed him from the Social Care Register. The committee said Cookson was aware straight away that his actions breached the social workers’ code of practice but he made no attempt to inform the council of the affair. Rosie Varley, chairman of the GSCC, said: “Social workers are put in a position of trust and it is therefore vital that they act with integrity while safeguarding vulnerable people. “Thankfully, the majority of the 80,000 registered social workers find no difficulty in complying with this. “In order to maintain the safety of vulnerable people we take all matters of law breaking very seriously and will not hesitate to apply the appropriate sanctions.” A social worker has been found guilty of shouting homophobic abuse at a child in his care. Stan Lansdell, 52, was struck off today for "gross abuse" of his position. He worked for Bradford council at the time of the offences. A General Social Care Conduct Council (GSCC) in London heard he had committed 59 counts of misconduct, including failing to follow child protection procedures, providing false references and making inappropriate contact with an 18-year-old girl. Communitycare.co.uk reports that Lansdell had shouted homophobic abuse at a trans girl known as Child F in April 2007, when the child was aged between 12 and 13. The child, who chose to wear girl's clothing and was said to be experiencing gender confusion, said Lansdell had threatened to put her into care and referred to her as a "f***ing little gay b****d". Lansdell also made inappropriate phone calls and text messages of a sexual nature to the child's 18-year-old cousin. He did not attend the four-day hearing but said in an email sent to the court that the allegations were fabricated. He was also found to have failed to keep up-to-date records on at least 13 children. But the the GSCC's presenting officer said Lansdell had shown "untrustworthiness" and that his behaviour was "potentially dangerous" to vulnerable children. Committee chair Barry Picken said the committee believed he had "deep-seated personality and attitudinal problems". A social worker who defrauded a local authority of £25,000 in care payments for her disabled husband over two and a half years has been struck off. An independent conduct committee of the General Social Care Council removed Julie Andrews, 45, after she admitted supplying false financial information to Essex Council in her capacity as her husband's carer. She also worked for the council as a social worker for two years between 2005 and 2007, which coincided with her false claims, although she maintained her dishonesty was not related to of obtaining property by deception and dishonestly making a false representation. She was jailed for 15 months in January. Cash used "to fund extravagant lifestyle" The Essex Chronicle reported in January that Andrews, who lived in Chelmsford, Essex, at the time of her prosecution, stole the identity of a care worker and used it to claim funding from Essex Council between June 2005 and March 2008. Andrews interviewed the female worker on behalf of her disabled husband, not in her capacity as a social worker, according to the newspaper. She reportedly used the money to fund an extravagant lifestyle including trips to New York and the Far East and plastic surgery. Dishonesty was "frequent and planned" Despite mitigating factors such as the registrant's clean disciplinary record, her recent employment as an outreach worker, and the fact she had shown remorse, the committee found the "high value, the high frequency, and the planned nature of the dishonesty" left them with no option but to remove her from the register. A spokesperson for Essex Council said: “We can confirm that Julie Andrews worked as a social worker at Essex County Council from 30 June 2005 until 25 May 2007. Her employment with Essex County Council ended amicably and any convictions took place after she left.” 4:05pm Friday 18th September 2009 A SOCIAL worker has been struck off after a committee accepted allegations of misconduct involving two young girls in the 1980s. Douglas Makey, 49, who worked for Kent County Council, was banned from being a social worker after a three-day hearing of the General Social Care Council (GSCC). The council was told he had sexually abused one girl between June 1983 and October 1984 and another between October 1987 and September 1989 at Glenview children’s home in Gravesend. In a report released after the hearing the GSCC said it was abuse carried out for “his own sexual gratification and at night-time”. Makey, from Tonbridge, was accused of abusing the first girl, known as Ms A, when she was around nine years old. He had taken her to his room at night when he was the only adult on duty, the GSCC heard. Ms A, now aged 35 and a mother of five, gave evidence at the hearing, saying: “If I was awake I would hear the fire door open. When I think back to the noise of that door opening I get a scary feeling. “I would lie there and think ‘Is that him?’, ‘Is it going to happen tonight?’ “Other times I would be asleep and I would wake up to him lifting me up.” She added: “As much as I was frightened it was nice to spend time with him. At that young age it never felt awful, I just felt he wanted special time with me. “I now feel differently and know what he did was disgusting, degrading and dirty. “I don't have a figure for how many times it happened but sometimes he would sneak in twice a week.” Ms A said she reported Makey to his colleagues but no action followed. It was only in 2006 when Ms A and her own children were referred to Kent County Council for housing and parenting issues that she went to the police. Makey was investigated but the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) did not prosecute him due to insufficient evidence. He was accused of molesting the second girl, known as Ms B, when she was between 10 and 12 years old, allegedly getting into bed with her when he was the only adult on duty. A statement she made to a Kent County Council officer before the hearing was heard by the GSCC. Reporting its findings, the GSCC said: “These are very serious findings of the sexual abuse of two vulnerable children in a residential care home, by a man responsible for their wellbeing. “It was abuse carried out for his own sexual gratification and at night-time. “These young children were particularly vulnerable and trusted the registrant (Makey) implicitly. “Ms A arrived at Glenview a ward of court with no significant adult in her life. “The registrant took full advantage of this, using his position of trust and power within the home, and groomed Ms A with treats and affection.Having so groomed her, he went on to sexually abuse her repeatedly over a prolonged period of time. “With Ms B, he took advantage of her obvious affection for him. This was in the same residential home but a number of years later. “The registrant again used his position and her complete trust in him to sexually abuse her in the safe knowledge that, like Ms A, she would be unlikely to speak out and that even if she did, it was unlikely she would be believed. “The registrant’s behaviour was of a most serious nature, repeated over a prolonged period and against targeted, vulnerable young children in care. “The committee decided the behaviour of the registrant was so serious the only appropriate sanction in this case was removal from the register.” A KCC spokesman said: "Douglas Makey did not work for KCC when the alleged incident took place. "When we were made aware of the allegations, Douglas Makey was suspended and subsequently dismissed from employment at KCC following a disciplinary investigation. "This case was then referred to the General Social Care Council. "We are grateful to the courage shown by the young women who came forward to report this case." A social worker who stole over £50,000 in cash from a charity she worked for has been removed from the profession by an independent committee of the General Social Care Council (GSCC). Mrs Lynne Greenwood, 57, worked as a Service Director in the Manchester office of Creative Support Limited, a charity which provides social care services for people with learning disabilities and other mental health issues. She was convicted at Manchester Crown Court in November 2008 of two counts of theft after being found guilty of stealing £52,742.35 in cash from the charity over a period of 18-20 months. Greenwood was given an 11 months suspended prison term over two years on condition that the money was returned to Creative Support Limited, which she has since done. Greenwood, who was not present at the GSCC’s hearing, admitted in a letter to the committee that her convictions amounted to misconduct. In mitigation, she said that no service user was directly harmed by her actions and her actions did not reflect negatively on social workers as she was not employed as a social worker at the time. She added that she was compulsive spender but was receiving help to address these issues. In finding Greenwood guilty of professional misconduct, the committee said her actions constituted a serious breach of the Code of Practice for Social Care Workers. They noted that Greenwood occupied a senior position within the charity and had deprived service users of valuable funds. In removing her from the register, they cited sections of the code relating to maintaining the trust of service users and upholding confidence in social care services. They said allowing Greenwood to remain on the register after admitting such grave offences of dishonesty would be “wholly inappropriate and disproportionate”. By saying in her letter to the committee that money was not taken directly from service users, Greenwood “failed to demonstrate insight into the seriousness and impact of her actions.” GSCC Chair, Rosie Varley, said “The vast majority of registered social workers are upright and honest professionals who abide by the law and the GSCC code of practice. People who use services need to have confidence in social workers. The GSCC must take action against registrants who fail to meet the high standards expected of them in the interest of public protection.” http://www.gscc.org.uk/News+and+events/Media+releases/Greenwood+release.htm A social worker has been struck off for stealing more than £4,000 from a service user with mental incapacity. Martha Wright, 33, of Manchester, stole the money when she was a social worker in Trafford Council's health and disability team, a General Social Care Council conduct committee was told this week. Wright was convicted in November 2007 of stealing £4,747 over nine months from an adult service user known as Ms A. The social worker was given a suspended jail sentence and 240 hours' community service. A 65-year-old social worker has been removed from the Social Care Register by an independent committee of the General Social Care Council (GSCC) for misconduct. During the four-day hearing, the committee heard allegations that Rosalind Shaw, who worked for the London Borough of Waltham Forest’s Intermediate Care Assessment Team (ICAT) based at Whipps Cross hospital, failed to meet standards of practice required as a social worker. The allegations included: failure to assess users of services in accordance with employer requirements; failure to report an allegation of abuse by a carer through the proper procedure; an inability to handle confidential patient information safely; and acting without management consultation. Shaw did not attend the hearing at which the committee heard from several witnesses including Ms Shaw’s ICAT manager, who attested to her inability to adhere to correct procedures as set out in the code of practice for social workers, as well as to follow management instructions. The committee concluded that in view of the persistent and serious nature of Rosalind Shaw’s behaviour and in order to protect the public, she should be removed from the Register. In reaching their decision, the committee highlighted the fact that Rosalind Shaw had “consistently failed to follow national standards and local procedures”. Her behaviour had an adverse impact on the performance and effectiveness of colleagues and staff in other agencies as well as failing to safeguard people who use services. The GSCC’s Chair, Rosie Varley, said: “When social workers register with the General Social Care Council, they agree to abide by a code of practice. The vast majority of social workers practice in accordance with the code, but where someone has failed to maintain standards of practice, the GSCC will take action to ensure standards are upheld and public confidence is maintained” The sanction has immediate effect and means that the registrant will not be able to practise as a social worker. http://www.gscc.org.uk/News+and+events/Media+releases/Rosalind+Shaw+conduct+hearing.htm'Drunk' social worker struck off
