Our client accepted some, but not all, errors made but with Kings View’s representation, they were able to provide sound and well documented evidence of reflection and remediation on the incident and as a result, the case was closed by Social Work England Case Examiners.

“We have noticed an increasing trend of healthcare professionals being subject to fitness to practise investigations following comments in court cases.

“Speaking specifically about Social Work England, it is of great importance for Social Workers to ensure they prepare thoroughly for any court case and to make sure that their case notes are robust and are able to stand up to scrutiny in court.”

“I worked with Catherine throughout my investigation and she was very supportive. She was always available for questions and she helped me to compile a robust defence. She had a wealth of knowledge on the matter and she understood the complexity of my situation.
