Edge Early Learning Center Closed After Failure to Manage Food Allergies
Edge 早期學習中心因未能管理食物過敏而關閉
Introduction
The Education Standards Board (ESB) of South Australia has ordered the closure of an Edge Early Learning center in Gawler East after a serious failure in allergen safety protocols.
南澳州教育標準局 (ESB) 在過敏原安全協定出現嚴重失效後，已下令關閉位於 Gawler East 的 Edge 早期學習中心。
Main Body
The closure was caused by a child with a known allergy being given food containing soy, which resulted in the child being taken to the hospital. CEO Chris Chambers explained that the incident happened because the kitchen staff used a substitute supplier and failed to check the ingredients properly. Although the ESB initially ordered a fourteen-day closure, the provider requested a ninety-day suspension to completely reorganize their internal policies.
此次關閉是由於一名已知過敏的兒童被餵食含有大豆的食物，導致該兒童被送往醫院。執行長 Chris Chambers 解釋，由於廚房人員使用了替代供應商且未能正確檢查成分，才導致此事件發生。儘管 ESB 最初下令關閉 14 天，但營運方請求暫停 90 天，以便全面重新調整其內部政策。
This incident is part of a repeating pattern of operational problems. The Gawler East center was previously closed in April due to administrative errors regarding allergen records. Furthermore, other centers in the provider's network have faced similar issues; a center in Munno Para West was closed for three months in April due to poor supervision, and a Plympton facility was closed twice last year for similar reasons. Consequently, Acting Premier Kyam Maher emphasized that compliance audits have increased by 400% to ensure strict safety standards are met.
此次事件是營運問題重複出現模式的一部分。Gawler East 中心先前在 4 月因過敏記錄的行政錯誤而關閉。此外，該營運方網絡中的其他中心也面臨類似問題；Munno Para West 的中心在 4 月因監督不力被關閉三個月，而 Plympton 的設施去年則因類似原因被關閉兩次。因此，代理州長 Kyam Maher 強調，合規審核已增加 400%，以確保符合嚴格的安全標準。
Conclusion
The Gawler East center will remain closed while the provider implements corrective changes and the ESB continues its investigation.
在營運方執行糾正措施以及 ESB 繼續調查期間，Gawler East 中心將維持關閉狀態。
