The Health Information Quality Authority does not investigate complaints against individual health and social care practitioners, including social workers. The Authority may take into account information it receives in relation to a service when deciding on its inspection focus or timetable. In
CORU is the statutory body with responsibility to protect the public by promoting high standards of professional conduct, education and training, and competence through the registration of health and social care professionals. This body handles complaints relating to social workers under fitness to practice.
In order to provide you with a comprehensive answer, I have referred your question to CORU and HIQA, asking them to provide the information you seek. As soon as information becomes available I will share it with you.
