An Ayrshire-based support worker at a care at home service has been struck off the register after being convicted in court of assault and behaving in a threatening manner.
Kirsty Wallace was this week told she can no longer work in the care sector following her conviction at Hamilton Sheriff Court in South Lanarkshire.
Industry regulator the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) said Wallace had demonstrated a ‘loss of self control’ and that her behaviour was “fundamentally incompatible” with continuing registration.
