Provider's corrective action:

s Field of Dreams will now provide a ‘Nappy Changing Policy’ to include an emergency plan of action should a child’s parent or guardian not be available to tend to their child. A staff member will assist the child if this occasion arises. Our toilet area will be equipped with a nappy changing mat, latex gloves, and aprons. These new measures will be reflected in the updated version of our ‘Nappy Changing Policy’. These new measures will be affected immediately on site, with parents being notified via a messaging application with an attachment of our updated policy. The Field of Dreams ‘Nappy Changing Policy’ has been updated to reflect procedure in situations where a parent cannot be contacted or is unavailable. This has been implemented and is reflected in the Field of Dreams ‘Policies and Procedures’ document

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