A Fitness to Practise Committee of the Education Workforce Council (EWC), sitting in private, remotely on 17 June 2024, has found an allegation of ‘unacceptable professional conduct’ proved against school learning support worker, Charlotte Ann Farrell.
The Fitness to Practise Committee found the following allegations proven that on 25 July 2022, a child in Ms Farrell’s care was left unaccompanied and, as a result, Ms Farrell accepted a caution for an offence contrary to section 1(1) of the Children and Young Persons Act 1933.
The Fitness to Practise Committee imposed a Reprimand on Ms Farrell’s registration as a school learning support worker for a period of 2 years (from 17 June 2024 to 17 June 2026). As such, Ms Farrell will be able to work as a registered person (school learning support worker) in a maintained school or non-maintained special school in Wales for the period of the Reprimand.
Ms Farrell has the right of appeal to the High Court within 28 days.
