LOCHGELLY CARER STRUCK OFF AFTER ABUSING VULNERABLE MAN
A social care worker from Lochgelly, Susan McKinlay, who was registered with the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC), was found to have subjected a vulnerable man to degrading, hostile, and threatening treatment.
Investigations revealed she falsified safety checks conducted in his home and engaged in offensive language and conduct, including shouting at the individual and making derogatory remarks.
Additionally, she failed to adequately assess his care requirements.
As a result, she has been removed from the professional register and received a five-month suspension pending an appeal.
The disciplinary panel determined that her actions constituted persistent abuse and neglect of a highly vulnerable adult, compromising her suitability to continue practicing.
