Congrats to our team who have just become British Institute of Cleaning Sciences** (BICSc) - approved trainers and assessors.

Pictured are: L-R Ian Meredith (CIM Associates UK Ltd), Gina Davies (Assistant Facilities Manager), Jason Bushby (Facilities Manager), and Julie Walker and Joanne Lambert (Facilities Management Coordinators). Ian Meredith delivered the course over a three-week period, which resulted in the BICSc trainers/assessors qualifications.

This means they can  train all staff - not just our domestic teams  and not just at CHFT  - but also at other trusts, sharing their expertise in areas such as body fluids, computers, sharps 

Getting the status means we have a  consistent and safe cleaning model which keeps us on top of all quality regulations and permanently CQC compliant. 

Jason said: " It has been a fantastic  team and individual effort." 

** BICSc was developed by cleaning professionals to qualify cleaning professionals in the skills they need and desire. It aims to: protect the operative, provide a clean and safe environment, preserve assets, promote sustainability, produce best practice.
