Herman Hui Chung-shing, chairman of the Social Workers Registration Board, which oversees 27,000 professionals in the sector, said on Saturday that the code of conduct would include the provisions to bolster the mechanism for dealing with anyone involved in national security and other serious criminal cases…. Asked whether social workers convicted in a subversion trial over an unofficial Legislative Council election primary in 2020 would be struck off, Hui said they would be “disqualified from continuing to practise” but the details of each case would be handled individually.
