Garda vetting disclosures must be obtained for all adults prior to them having access to children in order to establish they are appropriate to have access to children. This was identified as a non- compliance on the last inspection held on the 14 March 2023 and actions put in place failed to prevent a recurrence. An immediate action notice was issued to the registered provider on the day of the inspection with regards to this non-compliance. A response which addressed this was received that same day - (2) (c) The staff member was asked to leave the premises until vetting was in place. Garda vetting was obtained, and a checklist had been put in place to be completed before a staff member starts work ##### Regulation 23 — Safeguarding health, safety and welfare of child - General Safety: The following posed a potential risk to the safety of children: 1. Garda vetting was available for a staff member. However, this vetting disclosure was not dated within the previous three years in adherence to with the Early Years Inspectorate Regulatory Notice ‘EYI-RN12.3 Renewal of Garda Vetting’. 2. The cable from the photocopier in the Finding Nemo room was trailing and accessible to the children. This posed a potential injury risk for children. Administration of Medication: 3. One of the two bottles of fever reducing medication available for the use of children in the service was out of date. This could limit the effectiveness of the medication. 4. The administration of sun cream was not in line with safe practice and service practice on administration of suncream. Three of the eight sun creams in the Starfish room were not individually labelled. This posed a potential risk of skin irritation if used incorrectly. Action submitted by the Registered Provider - General Safety: 1. The service has re-applied for Garda Vetting which was made available to the inspectorate. The Staff checklist has been updated to have Garda Vetting end dates and the date for re-application for vetting. The staff folder will be reviewed every 6 months. 2. The copier was moved up a shelf immediately and the cable was secured to the wall. The cables have been attached to the wall since. The daily risk assessment included a check for cables.
