Inspection of Camp England Esher High School Esher C Of E High School, More Lane, Esher KT10 8AP

p.1

This provision does not meet requirements

n There are several breaches in the safeguarding and welfare requirements, due to a lack of efficient oversight and governance by the provider. This includes a failure to notify Ofsted of changes to the person who is managing the provision. n The provider does not ensure that records are easily accessible and available for inspection. This includes records relating to the identity checks and vetting processes that have been completed on staff. When records were made available by the provider after the inspection, evidence could not be provided about the vetting processes that have been completed on all staff, other than Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks. Furthermore, the provider does not ensure that all vetting checks, such as references, are received and followed up prior to allowing staff to start work. This means that the provider cannot be fully assured that staff are suitable and some staff run certain camp activities on their own.

p.2

This provision does not meet requirements

n Although staff receive training, this is not robust enough to ensure they are fully aware of their roles and responsibilities. For example, staff do not ensure that the premises are secure and do not know how many children are in attendance. This places children at risk because anyone could enter the building unsupervised and staff may not be able to quickly identify that a child has gone missing. n The provider does not ensure that those staff who hold a full and relevant paediatric first-aid certificate can be called on and able to respond to emergencies quickly. n The staff observed working with older children are kind and caring. They plan a good range of activities to keep children busy and active throughout the day.

This provision does not meet requirements

There were no children in the early years age range present when this inspection took place. The findings in this report are based on evidence gathered from discussions with those who care for the children and an inspection of the premises, equipment and relevant documentation. Where there are no early years children present, no judgement is made on the quality of the early years provision as there is no reliable evidence on which to assess its impact on children. The report states whether the provider continues to meet the requirements of registration.
