##### Regulation 9 — Management and recruitment

- (7) (a) The person in charge advised the inspector that staff receive supervision, however no written evidence to indicate that individual staff supervision meetings were completed between the person in charge and staff members were maintained. This does not align to the Supervision of Staff policy which states that “A supervision program will be agreed between each individual staff and management. Support and Supervision form will be completed”

- The person in charge has purchased a one-to-one meeting record book to record all support and supervision meetings with staff. The Manager will schedule a support and supervision meeting with each staff member each term

##### Regulation 27 — Supervision

- The children were not adequately supervised during the transition to return indoors following outdoor play. Staff did not have an effective system in place to ensure all 23 children playing outdoors were counted before transitioning inside. As the children were removing their coats and wellington boots at 12:20, a child who had been left in the outdoor play area was observed knocking on a locked door to gain entry. A staff member opened the door and the child was returned to their peer group. This presented a risk that a child might experience emotional distress or experience harm due to lack of supervision. It is acknowledged that the child was not distressed

- Staff were informed to conduct head counts during transitions to and from the outdoor area. The services Supervision of Children policy has been updated. All staff were made aware of the changes and procedures to be carried out during transitions. This was discussed at a staff meeting where our supervision of children policy was discussed

Found compliant: Regulation 10, 11, 19, 23.
