The Registrant, a social service worker, admitted to professional misconduct for engaging in a personal and sexual relationship with a vulnerable client to whom she was providing employment support services.

The Discipline Committee found that the Registrant's conduct constituted sexual abuse, a failure to maintain professional boundaries, and practicing in a conflict of interest.

The Committee accepted a joint submission on penalty, ordering a public reprimand and $5,000 in costs, taking into account the Registrant's undertaking to permanently resign from the College and never reapply.
