To be clear, he has been fired by the Tavistock following a 12-month suspended prison sentence for meeting a child after grooming, but remains free to practice elsewhere. He was not involved in the gender clinic at the Tavistock but was treating children with mental health issues.
Having been sentenced two days ago, you would think it’s only a matter of time before he’s struck off.
One can only imagine the poison he must have poured into the ears of vulnerable young people.
How depressing.
How can they let someone who groomed a kid be allowed to continue to practice.
I know he’s fired and unlikely to be hired elsewhere but what the hell
His regulatory body likely paused their investigation whilst criminal proceedings were ongoing; now he has been sentenced I expect they will pick it back up. The HCPC standards require registrants, among other things, to [make sure that your conduct justifies the public’s trust and confidence in you and your profession](https://www.hcpc-uk.org/standards/standards-of-conduct-performance-and-ethics/) and he will have some trouble arguing that he hasn’t breached that!

Rage bait headline, there’s a process to removing his right to practice and it won’t happen instantly after a conviction
The Mods should put a misleading tag on this one. Gross misrepresentation by the DM….yet again.
