UNISON members survey for cleaners

UNISON has over 40,000 members working in a role that includes cleaning as all or part of the job.  To support what is often a very overlooked part of the workforce, we would be keen to understand how training and promotion opportunities works for you and what the barriers might be to progression within your organisation.
 
If you do more than 1 job that includes some cleaning work you can either complete this survey for each job or pick just one and answer about that job.
