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

- General Safety: 1. Garda vetting was available for one adult; however, this disclosure was not dated within the previous three years in adherence to the Early Years Inspectorate Regulatory Notice requiring services to renew Garda vetting every three years for all staff employed. Infection Control: 2. At 11:02 am, a child was observed eating food from another child’s lunchbox and staff were not aware of this at the time. This posed a potential risk of cross contamination. 3. The tables were not observed to be cleaned following the morning activities before lunch. A child was then observed to eat their lunch from the table which posed a potential cross contamination risk. Action submitted by the Registered Provider

- General Safety: 1. Garda vetting has been applied for. We will continue to monitor dates of expiration. Infection Control: 2. Staff discussed different ideas, have settled on each child making their own place mats and will use at snack times. All staff will sit with children during snack times to ensure children are not reaching for other children’s food. 3. Each child will make their own place mat, designed by the child, laminated to allow for correct cleaning. Staff are aware that all tables must be wiped down prior to children eating

Full report (PDF, Tusla)

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

- General Safety: 1. Garda vetting was available for one staff member. However, this vetting disclosure was not dated within the previous three years in adherence to with the Early Years Inspectorate Regulatory Notice ‘EYI-RN12.3 Renewal of Garda Vetting’. Infection Control: 2. The following equipment in the care room was torn, leaving the internal foam exposed: o A couch in the cosy area. o Two round, foam pillows in the cosy area. This reduced the likelihood of effective cleaning and increased the risk of cross contamination. 3. Toilet rolls in the sanitary accommodation were not hygienically dispensed and were observed to be stored on top of the toilet units, this posed a risk of cross infection. Action submitted by the Registered Provider

- General Safety: 1. Garda Vetting has been sought for staff member in question. Garda vetting has been added to staff training records in the staff supervision folder where it can be better monitored to avoid reoccurrences. Infection Control: 2. The couch and all foam pillows with gold circle closures have been removed from the room. All future equipment will be checked and preference given to removable, easy clean items. 3. The service has contracted a new company to supply the correct size toilet rolls to fit the current dispensers and a rolling order has been arranged

##### Regulation 26 — Fire safety measures

- (b) Documentary evidence was not available to demonstrate a maintenance check had been carried out on the firefighting equipment and the smoke alarms in the previous twelve months
