ID cards are used to identify students in order to ensure the Learning Centres are a safe and secure place to study

Please help us keep the Learning Centre quiet for all users and switch mobile phones to silent

In order to maintain a clean area in which to study, staff ask that students do not eat or drink in the Learning Centres.

There is an Internet Respectable use policy to provide a reliable IT service and offer a pleasant working environment.

Anyone who behaves inappropriately will be asked to leave and their behaviour will be reported to their tutor.
