##### Regulation 16 — Record in relation to pre-school service

- (j) The signature of a second staff member, as a witness to the administration of medication, was not included on any of the 10 administration of medication records that were sampled. This was inconsistent with the policy on Administration of Medication, which outlined that the medication record is signed by both staff members administering the medication. The time of administration was also omitted

- The written response outlined that a new record of administration of medication, which includes provision for a signature and the signature of a witness, has been created and printed. This is now used daily. The registered provider will ensure that the record of administration of medication is in line with the policy and that it includes the two signatures

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

- General Safety: 1. An unsecured drawer in the care room contained three small plastic bags of nails, which posed a risk of injury to a child. Administration of Medication: 2. The expiry date had passed on one of the medications that were held in respect of a child. This posed a risk that expired medication, which may be unsafe to use, could be administered to a child. It was also at variance with the service’s policy on Administration of Medication, which stated that medication provided to the service must always be in date. Action submitted by the Registered Provider

- General Safety: 1. The written reply stated that the small bags of nails have been removed from the drawer. Going forward, the drawers will be checked to ensure that there are no harmful items inside. Administration of Medication: 2. The medication in question has been removed. As a preventive measure, medications dates will be checked weekly

Found compliant: Regulation 9, 11, 19, 21, 22.
