Child carer removed from register for ‘serious neglect’ of vulnerable user

A CHILD carer has been removed from the register for having “seriously neglected” a vulnerable user.

Sara Hargreaves worked for Aberdeenshire Council as a social care officer from September 1, 2008 until her dismissal on April 20, 2012.

She has now been removed from the Residential Child Care Workers register by the Scottish Social Services Council.

She was charged with failing to seek medical advice or assistance after an epileptic patient suffered a seizure lasting several minutes on February 29, 2012.
