Children's World, Dundalk · Regulation 10 — Policies, procedures etc. of pre-school service
- When questioned the registered provider stated that there was no policy available that included the following infection control measures: • The infection control measures for nappy changing and toileting procedures. • The specific measures for the prevention of cross contamination and infection control. • The management of perishable food
Provider's corrective action:
- The service now has a step-by-step instruction sheet on the bathroom walls for staff to follow where we have any incidents. This includes prevention of cross contamination. The staff and any new staff going forward will be briefed on these measures to avoid the risk of cross contamination in the future
