Enquiries
We regularly receive Enquiries about students from parents and other family members. Whilst we fully understand that families want to support students and may, from time to time, have concerns, we are not able to answer all these enquiries.
What we can discuss
We can tell you about:
- our policies
- our procedures
- our calendar
- what different terms mean
- our services for students, including support services to help our students
This information may help you to provide support to the student and to understand any issues that they are dealing with.
What we can’t discuss
Some parents may think it reasonable that they should have direct access to information from us as they are paying the rent. However, the contract is with the student – both financially and operationally.
The student is charged and pays the rent. Some students may borrow the money from a bank, some work to self-fund, and others are granted financial assistance by their governments.
Some students do, indeed, borrow or receive a gift of money from their parents. Whatever the source of the money, the student is the person we work with and there is no obligation of contract to the person or agency at the source of that funding.
This means we can’t discuss individual cases. This includes an individual’s complaints, financial information, and personal or contact details unless they have given us their consent to do so.
