Inspection of 12 March 2026 — Inspection Report
Regulation 23 — Safeguarding health, safety and welfare of child
- Administration of medication: The expiry date had passed on two of the medications that were held in respect of one of the children. This posed a risk that expired medication, which may be unsafe to use, could be administered to a child. It was acknowledged that once this was brought to the attention of the person in charge, the child’s parent was immediately alerted and provided replacement, in-date medication to the service, shortly afterwards. Action submitted by the Registered Provider
Provider's corrective action:
- The written reply outlined that the parent was contacted immediately and that new medication was on site before the inspection concluded. As a preventive measure, the date of expiry on medication will be noted by the manager and parents and replacements will be in place before medication expires. These dates will be recorded in an online calendar. The policy on administration of medication has also been reviewed
Found compliant: Regulation 9, 11, 15, 19, 22, 25.
