Clydebank childcare worker struck off for headbutting 'challenging' child and breaking their nose

A social services worker in Clydebank has been banned from working in the profession after breaking a child's nose by headbutting them and throwing them to the ground.

Gregory Paul was working as a Residential Childcare Worker in February 2021 when a 'physically abusive' incident unfolded between him and a child in his care.

In response to being headbutted by the child displaying 'heightened behaviour', he retaliated by headbutting them back. He then picked the young person up by the top of their legs and forcefully threw them onto the ground.
