[2025] UKUT 321 (AAC)

There is no dispute that at the relevant time MOO was conducting a regulated activity. MOO worked as a Support Worker in the Social Care Sector employed by the company anonymised as PC (or “the employer”) from 5 May 2022 to the date of her summary dismissal on 1 March 2023. The final decision by PC refusing her appeal against dismissal was communicated to her on 5 April 2023.

PC has more than one property used for vulnerable adults, but the relevant incident was at a house in a residential street to be identified as the “Home” for the purposes of confidentiality and in accordance with the Rule 14 orders already made.

Support workers at the Home had rotas, typically, for those who come on duty in the morning as day support and others that cover the night and leave early in the morning.

Service users have individual residential care plans pertaining to their history and support requirements at the Home.

A computer-based system used for data entry and reporting, was in use at the relevant time called “Nourish.”
