Consultation
A series of roadshows were held in order to communicate with staff and provide general information about the programme and it's aims, as well as seeking feedback. A summary of the feedback can be downloaded from the related documents section of this page.
Adverse weather − your working experiences
In 2011 we asked you for your views about working experiences during adverse weather. This was very helpful in preparing for winter, and contributed to many of the changes we made to how we deal with snow in particular. The snow page has a lot of helpful guidance.
As part of the exercise we received a number of questions from staff and a list of questions and answers was prepared. This list is available from the related documents section on this page.
