Social Care Wales v Jessica Gibbons

The extension of the interim suspension order is justified due to the ongoing criminal investigation into serious allegations involving inappropriate relationships, sexual activity, and drug use with vulnerable young people in the respondent's care. The risk of harm to the public outweighs any potential prejudice to the respondent, who has not engaged with the proceedings and has secured alternative employment.

Social Care Wales v Cerys Nomi

The extension of the interim suspension order is necessary and proportionate for the protection of the public and in the public interest, given the seriousness of the allegations, lack of engagement or evidence of remediation from the respondent, and explained procedural delays.

Social Work England v Ndoda Nathaniel Masinga

A 10-month extension of the Interim Suspension Order is necessary and proportionate for public protection and public confidence, given the ongoing regulatory concerns and the anticipated timeline for final hearing, but a 14-month extension would be excessive in light of previous extensions and delay.

Social Work England v William Yalden

A 16-month extension of the Interim Suspension Order is necessary and proportionate in light of the ongoing disciplinary investigations, the Defendant's lack of objection, and the current resource constraints, but an 18-month extension is not justified without further review of resource allocation.

Social Work England v Peter Charles Fletcher

The extension of the Interim Suspension Order for 14 months is necessary and proportionate for public protection and public confidence, given the nature of the allegations and the defendant's position.
