Hello Everyone, At present, we are experiencing a lot of change around how public spaces are used. Areas that until recently were food and drink-free, are now used differently. Additionally, some events spaces are now what I would refer to as "dual use". By this, I mean that they can be used interchangeably for collection-based or catered events.
I have implemented additional monitoring, and am working closely with our Facilities team on reducing risk in these areas (i.e. fabric of building, housekeeping). What I am interested in is learning about how other institutions do or do not communicate with their visitors about pest management. I would be very grateful if anyone would be willing to share their experiences of encouraging the responsible consumption and disposal of food - did it have the desired impact? How did you measure success? Did you meet internal resistance with other departments? All thoughts gratefully received! Many Thanks, Amy.
