Full report (PDF, Tusla)

##### Regulation 9 — Management and recruitment

- 9(2)(a)(b)(3) There was no second validated reference available for 1 of the adults who had commenced employment in the service since the last date of inspection. The procedures outlined under Regulation (9)(2) were therefore not completed prior to the adult commencing employment in the service

- The service received a second reference by email for 1 adult prior to her employment but the provider forgot to print it off. The reference is now on paper and in her file

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

- General Safety: 1. Cleaning products including bottles of bleach and disinfectant sprays were accessible to the children on the day of inspection in an unlocked low-level press posing a risk of harm to a child if ingested. Infection Control: 2. Bins in the care rooms were not pedal operated. Children were observed handling the bin lids after cleaning their noses and pushing soiled tissues into the lids to open the bins posing a risk of cross contamination. 3. Paper towels used for drying hands in the children’s bathrooms were not stored appropriately in dispensers. Staff and children were observed handling large rolls of paper towels following handwashing to break off pieces posing a risk of cross contamination. Action submitted by the Registered Provider

- General Safety: 1. There has always been a child safety lock on the press. A staff member had opened the lock to retrieve an item from the press, the staff member was called by one of the children and forgot to lock it as she walked away to attend to the child. The children were sitting down at tables for lunch at the time of the incident. The service will ensure the press is always locked. Infection Control: 2. Bins have been replaced in both rooms to pedal operated bins. 3. Paper towel dispenser has been fitted in the bathroom

Found compliant: Regulation 11, 16, 19, 25, 26, 28.
