As the GMC found "Dr Wilson had no prior experience and/or informed knowledge of FC." Dr. Wilson seems to have negligently relied on the claims of the carer staff, who claimed to be using FC, even though they were completely untrained and unsupervised. This case seems to me to one of negligence by Dr. Wilson and should not be stated to have anything to do with actual Facilitated Communication.<br /><br />I realize the decision states "her parents have for some years used a technique known as Facilitated Communication" (FC) but then gives an incorrect definition of FC. The decision also states that "In January 2011, CB was re-assessed by Professor A, an expert in Autistic Spectrum Disorders with experience in FC." Elsewhere on the internet, Pofessor A is idenitified as Patricia Howlin, a publicly known opponent of FC who has never been successful in the proper use of FC. I do not see where any professional who had knowledge in the proper use of FC was involved, including in the GMC hearing.<br />Arthur Goldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03177577505916908123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791817892794754996.post-7381218400272377902012-11-17T13:48:29.321+00:002012-11-17T13:48:29.321+00:00Surely it's time for the Welsh Government to s...Surely it's time for the Welsh Government to step in?

As you know the care worker went on to hit a vulnerable, defenceless service user 13 months later, admitted it and was cautioned by Police. His response as Director of Social Care has been totally inadequate and I question his role as Director. There are also others too whose roles I question.Delyth Jenkinsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791817892794754996.post-58975567471154412552012-11-15T19:45:38.887+00:002012-11-15T19:45:38.887+00:00The Executive Board Member for Social Care was Cll...The Executive Board Member for Social Care was Cllr Pat Jones, she was reshuffled off the Cabinet after the election, it is now in the remit of Cllr Jane Tremlett.

This is why I am so appalled that officers severely criticised in the Sept 2009 report were given a second chance. Lessons are only learnt by holding officers to account and this must now happen swiftly. Surely this must be within the remit of the Social Care Executive Board? Delyth Jenkinsnoreply@blogger.com
