Full report (PDF, Tusla)

##### Regulation 9 — Management and recruitment

- Two validated, written references were unavailable for one adult

- The registered provider has advised that they have printed, validated and filed both references for the relevant adult. To prevent a reoccurrence of this non-compliance in the future, the registered provider has created an annual review date for all staff files

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

- Infection Control: 1. On the day of inspection, thermostatically controlled warm water was not available for hand washing at the wash hand basins in the sanitary accommodation adjoining the care room or in the sink in the care room. The water in both the hot tap and the cold tap felt cold to touch. This is not conducive to effective hand washing and poses a risk of cross contamination and the spread of infection. Fire Safety: 2. A review of documentation evidenced that fire drills are not occurring monthly in the service. The last recorded fire drill was documented to have taken place on 15 October 2024. Not practising regular fire drills can hinder the safe evacuation of children and staff in the event of an emergency. Action submitted by the Registered Provider

- Infection Control: The registered provider has advised that they have spoken to the centre management team explaining the requirement to have consistent warm water available. The boiler has been checked, and hot water has returned. The registered provider has also requested that on under counter heater be installed to ensure that warm water is available at all times in the future. Fire Safety: Completion of fire drills has resumed and have been recorded monthly since the inspection. Fire drill records have been moved to a more visible place in the room and will be recorded monthly

Found compliant: Regulation 11, 15, 19, 25, 26, 28.
