Care home worker accused of racist tirades faces watchdog

Faithie Care Home, Fraserburgh.
Faithie Care Home, Fraserburgh.

A social care worker has been accused of more than a dozen charges of misconduct relating to offensive comments she allegedly made to colleagues.

Fiona Stott was working at a care home in Fraserburgh when she allegedly told co-workers the town was “overrun by Lithuanians and Polish” people.

The 48-year-old is also said to have made comments when a sheikh appeared on a television programme, and when later challenged suggested he was “dressed like a cartoon character” and was not “presentable or respectable”.

In another incident, she allegedly referred to black peoples’ “shiny white teeth”.

Stott will now go before the Scottish Social Services Council next month, to face 17 charges relating to at Faithlie Care Home, Fraserburgh.

She was employed by Aberdeenshire Council as a night shift worker when the alleged incidents between September 2014 to July 2015.

As well allegedly making inappropriate racial comments, she is said to have made offensive remarks to colleagues.

Speaking to one on July 25, 2015, it is claimed she told her that she was surprised someone so fat could get through a door and in another incident, made homophobic remarks about another.

It is further alleged that on the same date, during the reporting of the Aylesbury sex abuse trial in which six men were jailed for grooming underage girls, Stott is alleged to have remarked that it would not be “so bad” if the men involved -Vikram Singh, Akbari Khan, Asif Hussain, Mohammed Imran, Taimoor Khan and Arshad Jani – had been abusing “their own breed”.

The SSSC hearing about her conduct over the course of her employment is scheduled to take place over five days.

It begins on Monday, August 7, in Dundee.

If it determines that Stott’s fitness to practise is impaired by her actions she could be banned from working as a social care worker.

Yesterday, a spokeswoman for Aberdeenshire Council declined to comment until the outcome of the case.

“We will not be commenting ahead of the outcome of the SSSC fitness to practice panel,” she said.
