      How to avoid getting your knuckles rapped by a social work regulator in 2014

      As 2013 draws to a close, Community Care looks at some of the learning from fitness to practise cases we've covered this year

      December 19, 2013 in Fitness to practise, Workforce

      By Rachel Schraer

      DON’T use your position to spy on your future step-children

      DON’T supply cocaine to young service users… or to anyone, preferably

      DON’T use your employer’s letter headed paper to write fake job references for family

      DON’T repeatedly kiss colleagues on the lips, even when they tell you to “piss off”

      DON’T hire a car for a 17-year-old service user who doesn’t have a driving licence
