If, under exceptional circumstances, children are brought in, they must be closely accompanied and supervised at all times. Please see the School Health and Safety Policy for further information.

The University is committed to the safety and wellbeing of all our community, in particular, the safeguarding of children and adults at risk within the University community, apprentices, and those who visit and otherwise engage with the University. Please see Safeguarding Training and Policy documents for further information.

Assistance dogs play an essential role in helping their owners/handlers with day to day life, and include dogs for various disabilities or long term health problems, such as seizures or hearing problems, not just those with visual problems. SALC follows University Safety Services’ guidance on roles and responsibilities of the handlers/owners and risk management.

Ordinary pets must not be brought onto campus or into the School buildings.
