To think there is a reason for this support worker not to be trusted

Don’t want to post the full story but pretty sure they have been stealing off a vulnerable relative. (Not an elderly person) in case that’s relevant. They had been helping themselves to food and drink in their home when asked by the company they stated they had never used anything belonging to that person. Surely if you’ve been taking drinks and food you have? Aibu to think this is a very dishonest person? And ask that company in give removed due to the poor way they dealt with it. This is not a bashing of care workers I know they do a hard job for very limited pay. ‘Y relative is of course happy to provide drinks etc occasionally but couldn’t lots as they are also on low income.

Live in carer, meals and drinks are usually provided

I don’t think OP needs power of attorney to ask for the carer to be changed if they are the person dealing with the needs of the care receiver.

If I have grounds to request the company are removed

Not unless you have POA, no.

Are you talking about an hourly carer or a live in carer?
