West Lothian support worker given warning for not reporting 'sexually explicit' conversation

A West Lothian support worker has received a warning for putting one of her charges at “risk of emotional and physical harm”.

The Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) found Samantha Mutter’s fitness to practise was impaired and imposed a warning that will stay on her registration for three years, along with conditions.

The watchdog found that sometime between November 19, 2021 and January 19, 2022, whilst employed as a support worker in relation to an unknown female who was a user of services at risk of sexual exploitation, Mutter failed to record details of a conversation she overheard between the female and her friend which was sexually explicit in nature regarding a man who the female and her friend knew.
