Full Story:

A Care Council for Wales Conduct Committee hearing will be held on 9 October 2007 to consider allegations of misconduct brought against a registered social worker who has previously worked in a number of agencies in South Wales. The hearing will take place from 10am at the Hilton Hotel in Cardiff. The Care Council is the social care workforce regulator in Wales. Through registration, social workers are accountable for their conduct and practice. Action may be taken against social workers where the Conduct Committee agree the allegation(s) amounts to misconduct and decide whether the registrant is not suitable for continued registration. This means a worker may be removed from the Social Care Register and therefore would not be able to practise as a social worker in the UK. Taking action when a Committee deems that a registered social workers practice and/or behaviour amounts to misconduct aims to improve services for the 150,000 people who use social care services in Wales, and improve the public's confidence in those services.
