Care home worker struck off for threatening elderly man

Original: Worker at care home investigated by BBC struck off for threatening elderly man https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm9dw

A care home worker who was the subject of a BBC investigation has been struck off after threatening an elderly resident in his care. The ruling follows reporting that examined mistreatment at the care home, and regulators have now barred the worker from the profession. The case has drawn attention to standards of care for elderly people and to the role of investigative journalism in exposing abuse.

Why now: The BBC's investigation and the striking-off decision raise concerns about the treatment of vulnerable elderly people in care homes.
