Complaint references: CR76

Complainant raised concerns around the Registrant's professional conduct with regard to professional boundaries in an University education setting on various dates in September and November 2020. Allegations include overstepping professional boundaries, failing to attend assignments, not working within the limits of their training, skills and experience and failing to obtain support when difficulties arose.

Investigation conducted into potential breach of Section 1.1, 1.3, 2.1, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 6.1 of NRCPD's Code of Conduct. Witness statements obtained from Service User's family members, other professionals, and Agency.

Case Examiners decided based on the evidence provided, that there was a realistic prospect of finding an impairment of fitness to practice, and that it was in the public interest to refer the case to a Complaints Committee.

The Independent Registrar reviewed the case fully following further preparation of evidence for the hearing and decided to discontinue the case on the grounds of proportionality.
