A registered social worker appealed against the decision of a panel of the Conduct and Competence Committee of the Health and Care Professions Council finding that her fitness to practise was impaired and imposing a sanction of 9 months suspension of her registration, subject to review.
Held: In the light of the assessment, which there was no basis to overturn, that Ms Redmond’s expressed acknowledgement of the faults in her practice amounted only to limited insight and not a sufficient change in her entrenched attitudes, it was plainly appropriate to impose a sanction which would sufficiently bring home to her the seriousness of the faults found, and the need to provide tangible evidence of change.
