Regulation 9 — Management and recruitment
- (d) While an international police vetting disclosure was available for a second adult it could not be assessed as it required translation into English
Provider's corrective action:
- (d) The international police vetting disclosure was translated into English and is now on available on file. In future vetting which requires translation will be completed prior to commencement of employment
Regulation 23 — Safeguarding health, safety and welfare of child
- Infection Control: (1) Contrary to the service’s nappy changing policy which stated “that nappy changing would be provided in a safe and hygienic environment” the inspector noted that the changing mat was stored on the floor in the children’s sanitary area. In conversation, the registered provider stated that they did not have a nappy changing unit and as a result children are changed on a mat on the floor, posing a potential risk. (2) There was a swing bin in operation in the children’s sanitary area in which a number of children were observed disposing of their used paper towels. This had the potential to be a source of cross contamination from the number of children’s hands in contact with the lid of the bin. A number of children were observed using it regularly throughout both sessions. Action submitted by the Registered Provider
Provider's corrective action:
- Infection Control: (1) A new nappy changing unit will be fitted in the children’s sanitary area, this will be a permanent fixture for children requiring nappy changing in the future. (2) The swing bin in the children’s sanitary area was removed and replaced with a pedal operated bin. All future bins will be pedal operated
Found compliant: Regulation 11, 15, 19, 25, 26, 28.
