## Resource

John Sharpe, a social care support worker, was convicted in January for exposing himself to a vulnerable service user in Coatbridge in July 2025. The Scottish Social Services Council investigated, concluding his actions were unacceptable and compromised his ability to work safely. They warned such behavior could deeply harm the emotional well-being of those he served and damage the profession’s reputation. Though the incident may have been spontaneous, the impact was severe — the service user refused to return to the facility. Sharpe has now been struck off the professional register, effective May 29, ending his career in social care. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
