Paul Young escaped with a warning due to 'exceptional circumstances'.
A care worker has avoided being struck off the register after being convicted of assaulting a child under his care at work.
The SSSC decision reads: "You have been convicted of an assault of a child in your care by placing them in a headlock and repeatedly punching them in the head, to their injury. "There is no evidence of insight from you. In general terms, serious concerns arise in relation to the values held by someone who has demonstrated that they are willing to assault a vulnerable young person. This would generally mean that the risk of repetition in such situations would be assessed to be high."
"You continued to work for the same employer following the incident for a period of over three years until you were dismissed as a result of your conviction.
