Gscc delays reveal incompetence
29-09-09
It seems only of late that Community Care (http://www.communitycare.co.uk/Home/)
have come to realise, see article here:
that the GSCC (General Social Care Council) are actually complete incompetents.
They take years to complete the most simple of investigations and even when there is some complexity they simply lack the skill – it all starts at the top. This article only relates to cases where an ISO (Interim Suspension Order) has been made or where a Registrant faced a full Conduct Hearing after prolonged evidence gathering.
Further drilling down of data published either by the GSCC or the Care Standards Tribunal will reveal that in most cases the GSCC rely either entirely or largely on evidence gathered by others e.g. the police or employers as evidenced extremely well in the following article:
That Registrant in the above case, the “Moo case” as Wilt likes to refer to it, was a total fiasco and the GSCC were criticised for their utter incompetence by their own so called Independent Conduct Committee.
The reality is that the GSCC sit on their arse all day and do fuck all, if the evidence emerging is anything to go by.
What is missing from the Community Care research (very belated as it is) is any reference to the numerous other case matters which are (so called) investigated and never reach the Conduct Committee – those Registrants also wait inordinate periods of uncertainty of the sword of Damocles awaiting the GSCC to get up off their arse and do something. They also take years – Registrants are thus in fear of being found guilty, on some occasions through vexatious litigants moronic activity, sometimes through misconception/misunderstanding and occasionally, perhaps, because the GSCC have overstretched their powers. Those people suffer too.
Included in the above have frequently been Hearings (in private) of the Preliminary Proceedings Committee have considered allegations without the Registrant being able to contest their case in person and not infrequently without knowing what misconduct it is alleged they committed. One such case comes to mind – that of Mrs C and the GSCC. Part Two of that story (part one here:

to follow very shortly.
In short the GSCC are finally being identified as total pillocks. A bit like Ed firkin Balls and crew.
