The inspectors said that child safeguarding practices in the centre needed significant improvement. Procedures for reporting child protection concerns existed, but monitoring was ineffective.
A safeguarding incident involved the welfare of four children while their parent was hospitalized and was poorly managed, despite reports to involved agencies.
The provider did not take reasonable interim measures to protect children in the centre, nor did managerial escalation occur, leading to inaction.
No staff recruitment policy existed, and Garda vetting was incomplete for a staff member. There were also no risk assessments conducted despite positive disclosures.
