An Edinburgh carer took a photo of a service user without their permission and also trawled through their browsing history without them knowing.
Sebastiano Lanza was handed a 12-month warning on his registration by the Scottish Social Services Council after he was also found to have sent images of the patient into a group chat with colleagues and made derogatory comments. Within the same group chat, he also made horrible remarks about patients and even said he would 'help them commit suicide'.
Lanza was working as a support worker for Blackwood Homes and Care in Edinburgh when the incidents took place at a patient's own home where he also took photo of their browsing history and shared them into the same group chat with colleagues.
