Within our residences:
It is perfectly understandable that you might be anxious or worried about being away from home.
Here are some ways to relieve stress and anxiety:
You can also speak to your residence team about it and they can help with local resources, groups and university support too.
Our response is still in line with government guidance to isolate the flat or studio, employ track, trace and test to the flat or studio and all those they may have come into contact with.
We also carry out extra deep cleaning of the residence and common areas and close communal space. We then carefully manage spaces once they reopen.
