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

- General Safety: 1. A waste bin in the senior preschool was not the required foot pedal operated bin to prevent the risk of infection control. 2. An immediate action notice was issued on the 3rd of September due to an ineffective switch on an emergency door which resulted in access out to the car park. This was brought to the attention of the person in charge on the day of inspection. By close of business on the same day this issue had been reviewed by an electrician and rectified. Infection Control: 3. Hand hygiene was not routinely completed for the younger children after nappy changing posing a risk of infection control. This is also in contradiction to the service policy on infection control. Action submitted by the Registered Provider

- General Safety: In a written response the registered provider stated: 1. A new foot pedal operated bin replaced the bin in the senior preschool room on the 4th of September. All rooms will be checked monthly to ensure bins are working correctly. 2. The emergency door switch was repaired by a certified electrician on the day of inspection (3rd September). Access to the car park is now secure, and the door is fully compliant with fire and safety regulations. Daily safety check of all emergency doors and exits will be carried out in the morning and afternoon by the Room Leader or designated staff and logged. Any issues identified will be reported immediately and rectified without delay. Infection Control: 3. A memo was sent by email to all staff on 3rd September reminding them of their responsibility to follow the Infection Control Policy, specifically ensuring that younger children’s hands are washed after every nappy change. A hand hygiene visual poster has been placed at nappy changing room. Implementation of the Infection Control Audit Sheet will be carried out daily for the next few weeks to closely monitor staff compliance with infection control procedures following the recent Tusla inspection. This measure ensures that corrective actions are embedded in practice, promotes consistency, and provides documented evidence that infection control standards are being maintained
