A care worker has been struck off after asking someone he was supporting for money.
Alan Witcombe was working as a support practitioner at Turning Point Scotland Wigtownshire and Stewartry West when he “abused the trust and confidence” of a service user by asking them for a loan.
The Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) also found Witcombe had allowed the service user to enter his home on a number of occasions, while he had also turned up at the client’s house despite being suspended and his employers telling him to stay away.
