Critical Incidence Plan for ELC's and SAC's

Date: 25-01-2024

All employers must ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the safety, health and welfare at work of their employees, under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005.

This guide has been developed from previous guidance on critical incidents planning, including the Critical Incident Plan Toolkit to support ELC and SAC services to think about and plan for critical incidents and to have practical supports in place should it be necessary to respond to a critical incident.

Information sessions will be delivered by Mayo County Childcare Committee later in quarter two of this year.  At present templates and additional documents are in development but in the meantime, we are sending you these guidance documents to support you in your work.
