The Registrant, a social worker, admitted to professional misconduct for entering into a romantic and sexual relationship with a former client approximately four months after providing her with social work services.

The Discipline Committee found that this conduct violated the College's Standards of Practice, which prohibit sexual relations with a former client for a period of one year following the termination of services.

The Committee accepted a joint submission on penalty, ordering a reprimand, publication of the decision, and $1,000 in costs, taking into account the Registrant's undertaking to permanently resign from the College and never re-apply.
