Dear Ms Brown,
In relation to your request, I would like to seek some clarifications so
that we may respond to your request.
- When you refer to catering roles, and give the example of porters and
domestics, does this only relate to the catering function or does it
relate to wider facilities staffing e.g. janitorial services? Our intial
read is that this would only relate to roles directly involved in the
provision of catering services (servers, cooks etc)
- could you please provide an explanation for the acronym PSL?
Many thanks,
Karen Richardson
