A hearing into the conduct of a Registered Social Worker from London will be held from 22 to 24 October 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 several inappropriate telephone calls to the home of a person who uses services.

The registrant also failed to notify the GSCC that he had received both a written warning and a suspension from his employer and had been the subject of a disciplinary hearing.

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.
