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

- Infection Control: Refrigeration of the children’s perishable snacks prior to consumption, was not ensured, which increased the risk of food spoilage. Examples of the perishable snacks included yogurt drinks, cheese slices and ham sandwiches. Such foods were stored in the children’s bags until the mid-morning snack. Action submitted by the Registered Provider

- The response from the registered provider outlined that the children’s lunchboxes were stored in the children’s insulated bags and that parents had been asked to let a member of staff know if foods required refrigeration. As a corrective action, a letter has been sent to parents, requesting that all perishable snacks be placed in a separate zip-lock bag, which will be placed in the fridge at the start of the session. Going forward, the service will include this information in the policies and procedures and ensure that it is implemented from the start of each academic year. Any new staff will also be informed. A staff member will separate the perishable items from the lunch, should a parent forget to ensure this and a reminder will be given to the parent

##### Regulation 25 — First aid

- (a)(b) The first aid cabinet was not sufficiently equipped, as the following required materials were unavailable: - 6 triangular bandages - 2 eye pads - 6 large wound dressings - 3 extra large wound dressings

- The response received stated that the first aid cabinet has been restocked with the required equipment. In addition, there will be a review of the first aid cabinet at the end of each term, to ensure it is sufficiently equipped

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