An inspection records what inspectors saw on one day; services respond with corrective actions — how to read this.

No non-compliance recorded in this report.

1. Two staff members did not have a 2nd written and validated reference. 2. Two staff members required validation of their 2 written references and 1 staff member required validation of 1 reference. (d) 3. International police vetting was not available for 2 staff members who had lived outside the Irish jurisdiction for a period of 6 months or more as an adult. 4. A second international police vetting was not available for 1 staff member for whom it was required

Provider's corrective action:

(2)(a) All relevant references have been validated. Second references were requested from the 2 staff members. The registered provider will make sure all staff who are due to start work will have 2 references provided and both will be validated before staff start work. A checklist will be put in place so as not to miss validating references. (d) The 3 staff members have applied for their police vetting from different countries. 1 staff member has had a meeting with the embassy and the other 2 have applied for police vetting online. The registered provider will make sure all CV’s are checked for time spent in other countries which will require Police Vetting. The international police vetting applications are in progress but have not yet been received

Safe Sleep: 1. The safe sleep log was not always completed fully with the ‘ as per previous (“)’ sign used repeatedly instead of the written observation being documented each time. This is a recurrent non- compliance

Provider's corrective action:

Corrective & Preventive Action Safe Sleep: 1. Staff have been made aware that they need to use actual words on the sleep sheets and not (‘’) as previously noted in the inspection. This is now done. All staff know now that the use of ‘’ is not acceptable in the sleep sheets. The room leader has been made aware of the need to keep on top of the sleep sheets, that they are being completed correctly

Found compliant: Regulation 11, 19, 20, 25.
