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

- General Safety: 1. Children had access to number of electrical cables located under the administration desk in the playroom. Due to the potential safety risk, children should have no access to any cables. 2. One cupboard located at child height was not adequately secured in the playroom as an electrical iron and sandwich toaster were stored there. Due to the potential safety risk, children should have no access to any electric cabled equipment. Infection Control: 3. There was play equipment, paint tins and staff coats stored in the adult toilet. Due to the potential risk of cross infection, items should not be loosely stored in toilet facilities. A declutter of the adult toilet facility is required. Action submitted by the Registered Provider In the corrective and preventative response (CAPA) the following was stated:

- General Safety: 1. All electronics with cables attached have been moved to a newly purchased storage unit. Which ensures they are out of reach of children. The cables feed through the back of the unit which covers the cables and insures they are inaccessible to the children. A second small drawer unit has been installed underneath the desk to make the area of the wall with plugs also inaccessible to the children. These new storage units are permanent fixtures. Should they need replacing in years to come we will ensure they are replaced with another unit which will also conceal the cables. 2. A safety (child) lock has been attached to the cupboard to ensure children cannot access this cupboard going forward. The child proof lock will stay in place during the hours of operation. Should it break, the service will replace it. We will ensure any equipment with a cable going forward will be stored in this press to ensure the children cannot access same. Infection Control: 3. The staff bathroom has been fully decluttered. All equipment is now stored within the closed storage cupboard. Paint tins are now stored in a separate shed on the school premises belonging to the primary school. Staff coats have been stored within their baskets in the classroom – out of reach of the children. We had a large clear out and made space within the cupboard for items that were previously stored on top of the cupboards. All items have a designated place within the cupboard which will stop clutter building up outside of the cupboard. All staff have been instructed that the staff bathroom is no longer to be used for storage unless it is an item that belongs to the closed cupboard e.g. cleaning products

Found compliant: Regulation 9, 11, 16, 19, 22, 25, 26, 28.
