Luciana Protopopescu was found guilty of failing to take appropriate action to the protect the interests and wellbeing of a child in Cardiff.
That included not acting immediately in response to a referral made in relation to a child, and not following procedures for logging telephone calls.
Her former employer Cardiff council intends to make a statement on Monday.
'Poor professional judgement'Ms Protopopescu's case was considered by a hearing of the Care Council for Wales Conduct Committee in Cardiff.
The failure to pass on concerns raised by a child's teacher had left the child exposed to unnecessary risk, the hearing found.
In reaching its decision the committee said: "The actions of the registrant demonstrated a lack of insight into her poor professional judgement about a child protection case and raised concerns about the risk of her making similar misjudgements in the future."
As a result of the decision Ms Protopopescu will no longer be able to call herself a social worker, or practice as a social worker.
The Care Council is the social care workforce regulator in Wales.
A spokesman for Cardiff Council said the authority will be issuing a statement about the ruling on Monday.
