Regulation 23 — Safeguarding health, safety and welfare of child

Upon the request of the inspector the staff member cut the grapes in half and gave them to the children to eat. 2. The emergency plan for children with a defined medical condition was not detailed enough as it did not outline the steps to be taken in using the auto adrenaline injector (AAI) and to contact the parents and the emergency services in the event of an anaphylaxis reaction.
