| Almost 300 workers caring for some of Scotland’s most vulnerable people have been struck off for inappropriate, abusive and sometimes criminal behaviour in the last three years, equivalent to almost two every week. |
| Analysis of the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) data by The Ferret found that those removed from a register of qualified social care work professionals included at least 26 residential child care workers and other staff working with sometimes vulnerable and traumatised children and young people, including those in care. |
Other staff found unfit to practice included 114 care home support workers and managers, often supporting disabled or frail and unwell older people. A further 50 care at home workers were removed from the SSSC register after investigations were carried out by the regulator.
