https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm207eze5wwko 🤬 A care home worker who was secretly filmed causing distress to an 81-year-old resident with dementia faces being struck off. A Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) panel has found eight allegations against Amina Sani proven, including that she threatened to call the police after the man became distressed at the prospect of being showered against his will. Sani denied the allegations, claiming she had not been trained properly and was inexperienced due to it being her first job in the UK. The incidents at Castlehill Care Home in Inverness last year were filmed by the man's daughter and later featured in a BBC documentary. In a statement, the home's owner, Morar Living, said it acted promptly when concerns were brought to its attention. It said there was "no truth" in Sani's claim she was not trained properly. Among the allegations the panel found proven was that Sani told the man: "We will call the police and they will take you to court" or words to that effect. It also found Sani allowed a male cleaner to hold the resident's arms down and restrain him while she carried out intimate personal care on 10 April last year. A second carer, Oluwabunmi Salami, admitted allegations that she raised and lowered the resident's bed without warning, causing him distress earlier in the hearing. Christie told the hearing she installed the camera after becoming concerned about her father's care. She said: "I had numerous concerns regarding his care. I'd had four complaints upheld by the Care Inspectorate already. "The biggest concern was neglect. He was smelly, he was dirty."

  • @HebrideanHecate@spinster.xyz EIGHT ALLEGATIONS! I hope she's actually struck off. Meanwhile we have Amy E. Hamm who'd been exemplary at work being punished forever because she spoke the facts about men. (These are some of the many reasons I hope I do croak at home.)
