The General Social Care Council has admitted registering a woman claiming to be a social worker after failing to spot her diploma certificate was forged.

Kate Ariemugbovbe, who is also registered as a nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Council, was allowed to use the protected title of social worker for three years. For more info see our story here.

The GSCC say they have picked up a number of fraudulent applications before registration - does anyone know of any similar stories?

That says a lot more about others going up against her in interview than about the woman herself!

Daniel,

I spent 3 years in Zambia with the UN. A large proprtion of the local staff have a bent degree.

For 100USD you can have a degree in anything.......

Is this a big suprise to UK regulators?
