Nursery nurse 'struck off' for mistreatment of children

Provision
A Scottish nursery nurse who mistreated children in her care has been struck off the professional register.

Katrina Wilson has been found guilty of force-feeding a child and dragging and forcing another on to a sleep mat, by the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC).

The 25-year-old also repeatedly splashed water on a one-year-old and inappropriately moved and handled a child.

The offences took place between July 2013 and March 2014 when she worked at Hummingbird House Nursery in Dunblane, owned by nursery group Bertram.

Following a conduct hearing, the SSSC ruled that Ms Wilson had committed misconduct, and as such will be removed from the ‘Register for Practitioners in a Day Care of Children Service’.

The SSSC registers key groups of social service workers in Scotland. This includes people working in social work, social care and early years.
