CCW Pillock of the month
23-09-09
It must be said that the Care Council for Wales (very much unlike the GSCC) are at least willing to ADMIT to making a fuck up. See the press release here:

So good on you CCW. However, there are a few points of note as others have commented on this Blog. The term “scrupulous” applied to the investigation by the CCW is laughable as anyone who reads the Care Standards Tribunal judgement can see. The only scrupulous aspect to the investigation, or rather its competence of making a reasoned judgement, was that it was scrupulously twat like in doing so, twats. If there was ever pillock like behaviour the CCW only come second after the GSCC or Ed Balls. Here is an extract from the press release:
“Commenting on the decision, Care Council Chief Executive Rhian Huws Williams said: “We obviously accept and respect the Tribunal’s decision and Mrs Cordingley’s name will be restored to the Register of Social Care Workers.
“The Care Council takes its regulatory role very seriously and is scrupulous and fair in the way it investigates every case of alleged misconduct involving social workers or social care workers. The Care Council will examine the decision of the tribunal and assess whether there are any implications for similar cases in the future,” she added.
Removal from the Register of Social Care Workers is one of the sanctions available to the Care Council as the social care workforce regulator in Wales. Through its work, the Care Council aims to improve the social care services used by around 150,000 people at any one time in Wales, and raise public confidence in those services.”
The rather casual manner in which the CCW decide to reinstate Cordingley is only matched by its rather casual manner in which they attempted to destroy her career. Get a grip CCW, otherwise you will become the laughing stock of a very noble nation of grounded and decent people. You gain the pillock award for September 2009, and boy do you deserve it.
Eleni – good on yer . May you prosper and go on to be an excellent social worker. Don’t let the bastards get you down.
