##### Regulation 23 — Safeguarding health, safety and welfare of child

- General Safety: 1. Garda vetting was available for the three staff. However, one of these vetting disclosures was not dated within the previous three years and was not in adherence to the Early Years Inspectorate Regulatory Notice ‘EYI-RN12.3 Renewal of Garda Vetting’. Infection Control: 2. The children’s snack containing perishable food items such as yoghurt, ham and cheese were stored in shelving in the playroom with the room air temperature recorded at 21°C, above the maximum level of 5°C. 3. The covering of a small green couch in the children’s rest area was torn with foam exposed posing difficulties for cleaning with a potential infection control risk. Action submitted by the Registered Provider The registered provider advised in writing that:

- General Safety: 1. Garda Vetting was applied for immediately after the inspection for the staff member whose vetting had expired. All staff certificates and vetting are to be checked yearly at end of the school year and calendar reminders for updates to be set accordingly. The staff will keep a document checklist. Infection Control: 2. A basket is now left on the counter at the entrance area so parents and children can place the perishable food items into it. Once all children are in the service, this basket is placed straight into the fridge. Parents were also reminded to put any perishable food items into labelled clear plastic bags. At the start of the school year the staff will inform parents of the process and rationale for storing perishable items in the fridge. 3. The green couch with the tear was removed and a new one ordered. The staff will make sure to remove and replace any torn or broken toys/equipment. This will be added to the daily risk assessment of the indoor area

Found compliant: Regulation 9, 11, 15, 25, 28, 29.
