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.

Found compliant: Regulation 9, 11, 19, 23, 25, 26.

(4) Documentation was not available for one staff member to demonstrate that they held at least a major award in Early Childhood Care and Education at Level 5 or above on the National Framework of Qualifications or a qualification deemed eligible by the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth Affairs (DCEDIY)

Provider's corrective action:

(4) The service made a complete oversight in relation to the minimum level of qualification this staff member had obtained; it was believed by the service that this staff member was qualified to the standard required. The service apologises for this oversight and will ensure sustained compliance going forward with Regulation 9. As a result of this, the staff member has been re deployed to an alternative job role within the service. Effective from 17th November 2023, the staff member was reassigned to work within a cleaning /afternoon school age care role in the service, as the service cleaner gave notice 23rd of November 2023, which coincided with the discovery of this non-compliance. This ensured this staff member continued employment within the service as they are a diligent and hardworking staff member valued by the service. Going forward the service will cross reference with the DCEDIY list of recognised qualifications to ensure all staff members meet the minimum regulatory requirements. All qualifications, if in doubt will be clarified with the services local childcare committee or support agency to ensure that all staff members meet at least the minimum regulatory requirement to work in an early years environment

Found compliant: Regulation 11, 21, 22, 25, 26.
