A social worker for Plymouth City Council has been removed from the social care register after falsely claiming she made visits to children when she had not.

In total, Charon Rae Salisbury was accused of not making frequent enough visits to eight children between October 2007 and March 2008.

Salisbury made entries on the council's recording system, Care First, listing the various dates she claimed to have visited the children

Mairead MacNeil, assistant director for children's social care at Plymouth Council, said: "This hearing result brings an end to a process that we began in April 2008, when the individual in question ceased to be a practising social worker for the council after swift, decisive action was taken and a referral made to the GSCC.
