##### Regulation 23 — Safeguarding health, safety and welfare of child

- Infection Control: 1. Staff did not ensure that children washed their hands when they returned from outdoor play. This posed a risk of cross infection. 2. A swing bin was in use by the children for used tissue at the nose hygiene station. This posed a risk of cross infection. 3. There was no warm running water available to children in the sanitary accommodation. Water temperature was recorded at 15.3°C. A lack of warm water could impede effective hand-washing procedures and pose a risk of cross infection. It is acknowledged that when this was brought to the attention of the area manager, a plumber was immediately contacted. Action submitted by the Registered Provider

- Infection Control: 1. In their written response, the registered provider has stated that staff have been reminded of the importance of hand washing and that posters have been displayed prominently within the service. 2. The swing bin has now been replaced with a foot operated pedal bin. 3. Water temperatures are now being monitored twice per day to ensure the continuity of warm running water

Found compliant: Regulation 9, 10, 11, 19, 20, 22, 28.

##### Regulation 23 — Safeguarding health, safety and welfare of child

- Infection Control: 1. A supply of warm water was not available at the wash hand basins situated in the adult’s toilet area. The water temperature at these wash hand basins was recorded at 14.2°C at 10.10am and 14.3°C at 11.45 am which was the same temperature as the water from the cold tap. This posed a risk of cross infection as hygienic hand washing was not facilitated. Action submitted by the Registered Provider

- Infection Control: 1. The thermostat for the water supply to the wash hand basin in the adult toilet area had been switched off but has since been turned on and thermostatically controlled hot water is now available at this wash hand basin

Found compliant: Regulation 9, 11, 15, 16, 19, 24.
