NATIONAL STANDARDS OF CLEANLINESS (NSoC)
National Standards of Cleanliness Audits
The NSoC audit returns are still producing very good results in all of the critical areas. The audit
process has been reinforced and they are now checked and ‘signed off’ by both the Hotel
Services line management and the relevant Ward/Departmental Manager/Representative.
The audits will also be subject to scrutiny by the introduction of a Quality Assurance check every
month. The Quality Assurance results will be reported in the cleanliness report for the May Trust
Board.
