Anne McCabe insists it was an accident.
A Kilmarnock social care worker has been struck off after being convicted of assaulting a man in her care during an incident in a pub.
Now her social services career is over after the regulator, the Scottish Social Services Council deemed her fitness to practise “impaired.” The free download features the latest breaking news and exclusive stories while you can customise your page with the sections that matter to you.According to the SSSC, McCabe maintained that the incident was “accidental.”
“In this case, you physically assaulted AA, a vulnerable service user, by striking him on the face. This not only put AA at significant risk of physical harm but also likely caused emotional distress and undermined his trust, both in you and the sector more broadly.” The report goes on: “This was a public incident, which increases the seriousness of your actions. Striking a service user, especially in such a setting, reflects a serious lapse in your responsibility to protect and care for vulnerable individuals.”
The SSSC said McCabe’s response during the incident went “against the profession’s priorities of safety, care, and dignity for service users,” raising “serious questions” about her ability to continue practising in a role that “requires such values.”
