We are deeply saddened by this loss and our thoughts are with all those affected.
We would like to clarify that Inclusion Scotland does not employ care workers and has no connection to the individual charged in relation to this incident. Any reference to Inclusion Scotland as the employer in this case is incorrect.
We respectfully request that all media outlets update their reporting to reflect this clarification.
