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

- General Safety: 1. Thermostatically controlled water was not available at the wash hand basins in the nappy changing area for the baby room and the sanitary accommodation for the wobbler and pre-school rooms. The temperatures recorded ranged from 45 – 55◦ Celsius which presented a potential risk of a scald injury to children. It is acknowledged that the designated person in charge took an immediate corrective action once the risk was identified by the early year’s inspectors.
