##### Regulation 9 — Management and recruitment

- (2)(d) International Police vetting was not available for one staff member who had lived in another State for more than six consecutive months as an adult

- (2)(d) The staff member in question applied for police vetting 08/10/2024 straight after our inspection. The police vetting has now been received and has been put on file. Moving forward management will make sure to thoroughly go through new staff’s CV and ask the question about if they ever lived abroad for more than 6 months. Following on from that we have introduced a staff induction checklist

##### Regulation 15 — Record of pre-school child

- (f) Health care plans for two children attending the service did not contain sufficient information to ensure the safe management of the children in the event they became unwell or required emergency administration of medication. One health care plan had not been updated to reflect changes in medication dosage

- (f) The parents of the children involved were given a new care plan to complete, and it was returned the following morning 09/10/2024. There is a checklist placed on the care plan boxes and this will be reviewed every quarter. Included in this is to check if the care plan is needed to be revised. Management will meet with the parents completing health care plans and make sure all documentation is filled out correctly and has sufficient information

Found compliant: Regulation 11, 16, 23, 25.
