NC’ed as this being linked to my other posts would be massively outing.
If a social worker was to engage in an affair with someone else’s spouse, would that be something that could be reported to Social Work England?
I’ve had a read of their website, and I quote section 5.2 of the professional standards - a social worker agrees not to “Behave in a way that would bring into question my suitability to work as a social worker while at work, or outside of work.”
This incident would be outside of work, as the person they were having an affair with, was not working with them.
From my point of view, someone who has played a part in wrecking another’s family, is not a fit person to be supporting other families, professionally, if that makes sense? For clarity, the social worker knew that their affair partner was married.
Not sure whether taking any action would be a waste of time, so looking for advice. Thanks.
