A social care supervisor in Aberdeen faces a 12-month warning after leaving a vulnerable resident unattended for over seven hours following a fall — a lapse that stemmed from poor judgment, not malice. Despite knowing the resident’s medical needs and receiving colleague concerns, the supervisor dismissed the urgency, accepting junior staff’s claim the resident didn’t want help — a fatal misstep. The Scottish Social Services Council stressed the gravity of delayed care, while the care provider confirmed internal action and reaffirmed its commitment to safety and improvement.
