Concerning Kyle Robinson, occupational therapist (Health and Care Professions Council OT70708).
Decision date: 23 September 2022 · Hearing started 22 September 2022 and ended 23 September 2022
In plain English
The HCPTS panel found that occupational therapist Kyle Robinson repeatedly made inappropriate and sexually inappropriate comments to female colleagues and undermined their work. It found misconduct, current impairment and a very high risk of repetition because he had shown no insight or remediation and had repeated similar behaviour despite an earlier caution order. The panel struck him off the register.
Charges
The allegations concerned inappropriate, belittling and sexually inappropriate comments to female colleagues while Kyle Robinson worked in a senior role, conduct that undermined colleagues and their clinical work, and an occasion when he ignored a patient's risk assessment. The panel discontinued a separate allegation about breakaway techniques.
Findings
The panel found proved a pattern of inappropriate conduct towards female colleagues, including sexually inappropriate remarks, and conduct undermining colleagues and risking patient harm. It found misconduct and impairment on both the personal and public components. It found a very high risk of repetition, no insight, remorse, reflection or remediation, and repeated similar conduct during earlier regulatory proceedings and a caution order. The panel ordered erasure.
Mitigating and aggravating factors
Aggravating factors
a breach of trust in that there was a power imbalance between the Registrant and some of his more junior female colleagues; a pattern of escalating inappropriate and sexually inappropriate comments made by the Registrant to his colleagues; a lack of any insight by the Registrant into his misconduct and its impact on his colleagues, his profession, and the wider public interest; a lack of remorse or apology; a lack of remediation; the potential for harm to be caused indirectly to a service user as a result of the impact of his misconduct on his colleagues which resulted either in their reluctance to attend work or on their ability to work safely and effectively; a previous finding of impairment for misconduct of a similar nature involving a junior female colleague; breach of a Caution Order; an attempt to blame colleagues when first confronted by their concerns; sexual misconduct.
