COVID-19 - Community Statement of Responsibility

We are committed to supporting and promoting the health and wellbeing of our community. Staff and students have a shared responsibility to respect the decisions made by members of our community to protect themselves and each other. We have therefore created a Statement of Responsibility.

This statement has been created to bring to your attention the rules of social distancing, and to reassure all students of our commitment to keeping you safe, and to minimise the risk of infection as much as possible.

Your agreement with this statement will form part of the contract between you and the University, particularly relating to Accommodation. This statement should be read together with any special terms you may be provided with throughout your stay in accommodation.

You should read all documents and communications very carefully and if you do not understand them you, please seek advice from a student support officer, the Advice and Support Centre at the Students’ Union, law clinic,a citizen’s advice centre , or other legal adviser.
