A support worker who was convicted of pretending to “pass wind” in the faces of two vulnerable residents has been struck off.
Christopher Watson appeared at Livingston Sheriff Court where he was found guilty of the ill-treatment and wilful neglect of two patients while working at Real Life Options in Kirknewton, West Lothian.
The court heard Watson pulled the heads of the two men downwards, lifted his leg and imitated passing wind in their faces on two separate occasions between July and August 2023.
A report by the Scottish Social Services Council also outlined two occasions in 2021 when Watson was accused of misconduct.
On one occasion, he failed to provide support for a man who had put his arms out looking for his help causing the man to fall to the floor and hit the side of his face.
