It’s a good point to raise and of course it might seem odd if you can get meat via room service and not in the canteen, but I’m guessing it’d be easier to just focus on the restaurant at this stage? Particularly if people have already ordered food for the 5th and would need an explanation. Don’t mind either way though TBH.

The plan is to remove all meat from the menu, including breakfast, and it’ll happen every Monday as this makes the comms clearer. They’ll be comms across the site about it in the run up to it. You put Meat Free Monday down on your Carbon Literacy form as one of the things you wanted to happen, so hopefully you’ll think this is good news, but I just wanted to check you’re happy before we hit the go button?

  • The Bbc Trust Report: On-Screen and On-Air Talent Including an Independent Assessment and Report by Oliver & Ohlbaum Associates
    THE BBC TRUST REPORT: ON-SCREEN AND ON-AIR TALENT INCLUDING AN INDEPENDENT ASSESSMENT AND REPORT BY OLIVER & OHLBAUM ASSOCIATES MAY 2008 2 BBC TRUST CONCLUSIONS The issue of talent costs The BBC Trust operates to protect the interests of licence fee payers who pay for and own the BBC. As part of this we seek to ensure quality and value for money for licence fee payers and to challenge BBC management to use everything at their disposal to deliver both. An area where this is particularly complex is the salaries paid to on-screen and on-air talent. During the course of 2006, press reports about presenters’ salaries aroused industry and public concern and led some people to question the BBC’s approach to the talent it employs. This debate was still live when the Trust was established as the BBC’s governing body in January 2007. It was and has remained a topic raised by the public with Trustees during our appearances on radio phone-ins and at public meetings in all parts of the UK. Against this background the Trust commissioned an independent review, conducted by Oliver and Ohlbaum Associates Ltd (O&O), to provide an in depth examination of the BBC’s use of on air and on screen talent. We posed O&O three specific questions: • How do the size and structure of the BBC's reward packages for talent compare with the rest of the market? • What has been the impact of the BBC's policy on the talent market, particularly in relation to cost inflation? • To what extent do the BBC's policy and processes in relation to investment in, and reward of, talent support value for money? We are publishing O&O’s report which seeks to answer these questions, the BBC management’s response to the points it raises and our own judgements informed by this evidence.

  • BBC Trust Is the Governing Body of the BBC and It Is Our Role to Get the Best out of the BBC for Licence Fee Payers
    BBC Training: Observations on the Current Operation and Effectiveness of the BBC’s Arrangements for the Training and Retraining of BBC Staff 1. Introduction The BBC Trust is the governing body of the BBC and it is our role to get the best out of the BBC for licence fee payers. In accordance with this, we have specific responsibilities under the BBC’s Charter and Agreement to ensure that the Executive Board makes appropriate arrangements for the training and retraining of BBC staff. We believe that the BBC has a unique role to play in society which can only be fulfilled by ensuring a skilled workforce that can deliver the high quality and distinctive services that audiences value. The Executive Board is therefore required to report to the Trust annually on its training and retraining arrangements of BBC staff and we then publish our observations on their operation and effectiveness. This report provides the BBC Trust’s fourth annual commentary on these arrangements, covering the financial year ending 31 March 2011. The Executive’s full report is attached. 2. Summary The Executive’s report for 2010-11 provides a comprehensive account of its arrangements for the training and retraining of BBC staff through the BBC Academy. We note that the Executive is responding effectively to changing requirements in this area, caused by the implementation of the new BBC strategy, Delivering Quality First and the ongoing efficiency agenda. This has led to the Academy reducing and refocusing its core training portfolio with a move towards more strategically aligned, larger scale training activities.
