Edinburgh Social Worker Struck Off After Rape Conviction

0:00It's May 3rd. This is Edinburgh News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. A children's worker in Edinburgh named Callum Mullin just got struck off the register after a rape conviction. He was found guilty under Scotland's Sexual Offences Act at Edinburgh High Court on April 29th, 2025. The Scottish Social Services Council active fast, pulling his registration for kids and young people services. The council dug into it and set his actions broke every rule in the book for social workers. They called it a massive abuse of trust that could harm kids emotionally and physically. No way this fits with caring for vulnerable people, they ruled. Folks are right to worry about public safety here. Social service pros got to stay above reproach and or out of work. This case hits hard because it shakes trust in the whole field protecting children. Mullin denied the charges, which the council saw as zero insight into the damage done. They weighed options like warnings or suspensions, but nixed them all.
