The senior social worker spoke at a meeting of Dumfries and Galloway Council's social work committee
A senior social worker has called for an end to accusations over the care of adults with complex needs following their move to new housing.
Relatives of some residents at Dunmuir Park in Castle Douglas have raised complaints about the transfer and the standard of the new care service.
A visit by the Care Inspectorate in November led to a series of recommendations.
Other reviews found no evidence of potential harm to residents.
They followed further complaints from three families who felt their relatives were at risk.
Graham Abrines, Dumfries and Galloway Council's head of adult services, said he and his fellow officers felt "professional discomfort" at claims made against him and fellow officers.
He told members of the local authority's social work committee that they never knowingly put anyone at risk.
"I will not have any of my officers accused in this way any more," he said. "This has to stop."
'Develop and improve'
The social work service said it expected an improved report from the Care Inspectorate when a follow up visit was carried out in the next four weeks.
However, it admitted there was still work to do - an acknowledgement welcomed by the families of the residents.
Jim Dempster, the chairman of the council's social work committee, said: "We are confident that the investment we have put in, in terms of training and other resources, will deliver an improved service.
"We expect that over time we will continue to develop and improve as a new service - it's less than a year old.
"Already we have seen improvements and we expect the Care Inspectorate to endorse the work we have done."
A representative of the families said: "We welcome that the local authority has acknowledged there is still work to do to improve care and we continue to hope for a resolution to all of our outstanding concerns."
Meanwhile, Police Scotland confirmed it has concluded its inquiries into a complaint relating to Dunmuir Park. A spokesman said a report had been passed to the procurator fiscal for consideration.
