A hearing into the conduct of a Registered Social Worker from Fleetwood will be held from 11 to 13 December 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 failing to put the keys and money of a person who uses services into the Council’s safe and record in case notes, a number of occasions when they moved keys and money.

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.
