Inspection of 22 May 2024 — Inspection Report
Regulation 16 — Record in relation to pre-school service
- (k) A sample of ten accident and incident records were reviewed. Some of these records were incomplete as follows; - Four of these records were not signed by parents. - Seven records had no second staff signature. Failure to record accident and incidents correctly and to ensure that parents have been informed of an injury to their child may pose a risk to the continuity of care of the child
Provider's corrective action:
- (k) At our next staff meeting we discussed the procedure for when an accident or incident occurs within the service. When the incident happens, it is reported to the manager and the child is supported, first aid is applied where required. We then proceed to complete the accident/incident report form. Care must be taken to ensure that all areas of the form are completed and all necessary signatures obtained. A new accident and Incident book was purchased. Manager placed stickers on the front of the book out lining the procedure to follow when completing the form. • White page to the parent • Pink page remains in the book • Yellow page is placed into the children’s file
Regulation 20 — Facilities for rest and play
- The sleep facilities and equipment provided by the service were not suitable for the individual needs of the children attending the service. There were no beds available for children who may require a nap while in the service. The person in charge stated that some children attending occasionally need a nap and that they use the couch in the rest area for this purpose
Provider's corrective action:
- 2 day beds have been sourced and are on site
Found compliant: Regulation 9, 11, 19, 23, 29.
