A hearing into the conduct of a Registered Social Worker from Witney will be held from 27 to 29 November by the social care workforce regulator for England, the General Social Care Council (GSCC).

The Registered Social Worker is alleged to have committed misconduct and breached the GSCC’s Code of Practice for Social Care Workers by making false allegations and behaving in a way outside of work that calls into question their suitability to work in social care services.

All Registered Social Workers are accountable for their conduct and practice. Action can be taken if they breach the code of practice. They can be removed from the Social Care Register if it is considered that they are no longer suitable to be a Registered Social Worker.
