Children’s Home Monthly Sharps Audit

A practical monthly sharps audit workbook designed for children’s homes to monitor the safe storage, control, condition and accountability of sharps and cutting equipment. The workbook includes a Sharps Register for recording items, categories, intended use, storage locations, expected quantities, risks, access controls, missing-item responses and safe-handling requirements. Monthly audit sheets allow staff to check that sharps are accounted for, stored securely, in safe condition and appropriately controlled in relation to children’s access. An action tracker is also included for recording concerns, assigning responsibilities and monitoring corrective actions through to completion. This resource provides a structured approach to carrying out regular sharps safety checks and maintaining clear records of any actions identified.
