    How to communicate with them?

    They know it can sometimes be unsettling when your son/daughter leave home for the first time, despite it being one of the proudest moments they understand it can be hard. As parents its natural to worry, they find a common one is their students not responding to phone calls or e-mails as quickly as they might have done at home. They always respect that all their students are responsible adults and are sensitive to respecting their privacy, however they appreciate that some situations can be distressing. They therefore always encourage all their parents to contact the accommodation team by phone or e-mail (details available on your relevant scheme page) if you have any concerns regarding your son/daughter. A member of the accommodation team will pop over to their room to give a friendly knock on the door to check everythings okay. If theres any reason why they arent able to support your concern they will always try to direct you to the appropriate department at the University/College.

    Can students have post and parcels delivered?

    They are proud to offer a postal service during office hours within their schemes. They always communicate the postal process to their students when they move in, however they will always make every effort to ensure that your daughter/son gets their mail safely. They always asks for students to inform the staff if they are expecting a recorded or special delivery for the site team to ensure that someone is available for the delivery. They also always ask for the student to bring some ID for when they come to collect the parcel. They recognise that the students cant always come down themselves; they are flexible with friends picking up parcels however the student needs to contact the accommodation team to let them know in advance. They cannot be liable for any direct, indirect or consequential loss arising from accepting mail on students behalf. Although they will make every effort to ensure the students get their mail safely, they will not be responsible if recipients fail to collect their deliveries, packages are stolen or damaged due to circumstances beyond the control of the accommodation team.
