<p> &nbsp;High winds overnight had destroyed the tarpaulin over the kitchen, so the time that would have been spent cleaning the kitchen was spent installing a new tarpaulin. No one had been on site for 5 days so the kitchen had been subject to wildlife, wind and rain and all the dust and mud.</p> <div> &nbsp;</div> <div> The kitchen was cleaned thoroughly before any cooking took place that day, but the inspection happened as I had just finished installing and had not even washed my own hands.&nbsp;</div> <div> &nbsp;</div> <div> The handwash was not set up at the time of inspection so the photo in the report is of the container that catches the water, not the tap.&nbsp;</div> <div> &nbsp;</div> <div> NB &ndash; as posited in the report - Toilets are cleaned at the end of the day, and never during the day, and this task is only carried out by a manager who does not re-enter the kitchen before going home. Nothing is stored in the toilets, ever.&nbsp;</div> <div> &nbsp;</div>
