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

- General Safety: 1. The service did not adhere to the re-vetting timeframes as outlined in the Early Years Inspectorate Regulatory Notice, requiring services to renew Garda vetting every three years for 1 adult working in the service. 2. In the Butterfly room, two electrical cables from a fridge and a fan were observed trailing onto the floor. The cables were in reach of children during the inspection; this poses a potential risk of injury to a child. 3. In the Caterpillar room, anti-febrile medication was stored on a low shelf in an unlocked refrigerator, the refrigerator was accessible to children. This poses a potential risk of harm to children if they assessed it. 4. In both care rooms, children’s lunch boxes containing whole grapes were handed out to children at snack time. Children had started to eat the grapes before staff members cut them up. The healthy eating policy shared with parents does not include information about chopping food into bite size pieces for children. Whole grapes pose a potential risk of choking to children. Action submitted by the Registered Provider General Safety:

- The registered provider stated: 1. The outstanding vetting disclosure has been received, regular checks will be under taken to ensure all documents are in date. 2. The trailing wires in the butterfly room have now been encased, the manager will monitor any cables in the future to ensure they are safe and not trailing. 3. The lock has been replaced on the fridge, the manager will ensure this remains in place at all times. 4. Parents have been reminded of the importance of cutting fruit for children’s lunch, staff will also check daily before handing lunch boxes to the children

Found compliant: Regulation 9, 11, 19, 26, 28.
