Emergency medication was observed to be stored in a child’s bag on a low-level shelf and accessible to children, posing a potential risk to children’s safety. Infection Control: 2. The covering on low-level press doors was observed to be peeling, exposing internal porous wood, reducing the likelihood of effective cleaning and increasing the risk of cross contamination.

Through conversation with staff members, it was confirmed that thirteen children were in attendance when the inspector entered the care room at 09:40am, however, upon review of attendance records at approximately 10:00am, there were twelve children recorded as being present. This may prevent the safe evacuation of the children in the event of an emergency. Action submitted by the Registered Provider - General Safety: 1. The child’s bag which holds emergency medication is now stored on a high shelf which only staff members have access to. A staff member has been assigned to ensure the bag is placed on the shelf every day. Infection Control: 2. The press doors on the low-level shelving unit have been sanded and painted.
