Inspection of 5 November 2025 — Inspection Report
Regulation 9 — Management and recruitment
- (2) Of the seven files reviewed on the day of inspection a complete employment history was not available on the day of inspection for two of the adult’s files. (2)(d) Police vetting from the relevant authorities in another state was not available on the day of inspection for three of the adults
Provider's corrective action:
- The registered provider received an updated CV for both adults. The registered provider checked the CV thoroughly and verified the amended CV and resubmitted he updated CV to the Tusla Inspector. The registered provider will use a written checklist with two step verification process for reviewing all documentation before submission. All staff CVs and files will be checked twice for accuracy to prevent future errors. This procedure immediately will start immediately
- Police vetting for two of the adults submitted to the inspectorate. With regards to the third adult, the registered provider received a copy of a corrected CV which now accurately reflects the staff members employment history and confirms that they did not remain in another state for more than six months. The registered provider has reviewed the information and confirmed that police vetting is not required for this adult. The registered provider has added a clear step in the new written checklist with 2 step verification, requiring verification of any periods spent outside Ireland for longer than six months. During the 2-step verification process, CV, dates, gaps and time spend overseas will be checked twice for accuracy before any submission to Tusla. This will ensure any international vetting requirements are identified correctly and will prevent future noncompliance. This procedure has now been added to our staff files
