  • Only residents have access to their hall (via proxy card or security key access)

  • All halls and rooms have smoke alarms and fire-safety equipment which are checked regularly
  • We run fire safety inductions and regular drills

A safe environment requires cooperation from everyone in the residential community, which is why our Conditions of Residency includes a number of security initiatives and responsibilities.
