A carer has been given a warning after carrying an elderly woman over her shoulder and posting videos of her on social media.
Tegan Watt had only worked at Balclutha Court Care Home in Greenock for four days when the incidents unfolded.
A report by the Scottish Social Services Council detailed that Watt had moved a service user by carrying her over her shoulder to bed and by placing her own arms under her the woman's arms and carrying her to a chair.
She also recorded two videos of the same woman and uploaded them onto social media.

One video had the caption "look at how we love her" and "listen to her moan".
The incidents took place just months after she started working in the sector and weeks after she received moving and handling training during her employment induction.
A panel decided that Watt's actions were "inappropriate and likely to cause physical discomfort". They added that she had placed the woman at risk of "physical harm".
Their report added: "There was no reason or justification for your actions and you did this without the knowledge or consent of the individual or your employer. Your actions display a careless disregard for the dignity and privacy of a service user and call into question your attitude and values as a person who works in the caring profession and whose job is to uphold proper standards of care and conduct.
"There is a lack of detailed insight and reflection from you. You have not engaged with the SSSC investigation. The information we have suggests that your actions are, more likely than not, related to immaturity and very poor personal and professional judgment, rather than any deliberate malice on your part."
Watt will be allowed to continue working as a carer but has had a two-year warning placed on her registration.
