Inspection of 13 May 2025 — Inspection Report
Regulation 23 — Safeguarding health, safety and welfare of child
- General Safety: 1. Garda vetting was available for one staff member. However, this vetting disclosure was not dated within the previous three years in adherence with the Early Years Inspectorate Regulatory Notice ‘EYI-RN12.3 Renewal of Garda Vetting’. Action submitted by the Registered Provider
Provider's corrective action:
- General Safety: 1. The centre manager had submitted the Garda vetting application form in advance of the renewal date. However, the staff member encountered issues with the online application and had requested an alternative link to allow them to complete the renewal process successfully, which resulted in the delay. The vetting has since been returned and is on file. The centre management team monitor the staff Garda vetting expiry dates using a spreadsheet that is updated monthly – this usually allows them to plan and complete the renewals in a timely manner. Going forward, the management team will request that staff complete the process a couple of months in advance to allow for any technical delays
Found compliant: Regulation 9, 11, 15, 19, 25, 26.
