SAFETY & WELFARE

How secure are the campuses?

Our programme takes place in secure and supervised premises. In addition to our residential staff who can be contacted 24 hours a day, the campus entrances are supervised 24 hours a day by porters. All students under the age of 18 are required to check-in regularly during the day through registers that will be taken at meals, classes and before curfew, which is at 11pm.

There will also be safes on campus where students may deposit valuable items such as passports, travel documents, bank cards and so on.

What happens in the case of an accident or an emergency?

Adeline College has residential staff, and this means that there is someone on site 24 hours a day. In addition, there is a 24-hour emergency phone number on campus, which both students and family/friends may call. This telephone number will be emailed to all students before the start of the programme, and will also be available on our website during the summer.

We also ask that all students under the age of 18 provide the contact details of one parent or guardian.

Are parents allowed to visit?

Parents and guardians are invited to attend the welcome reception for new students between 17:00 – 18:00 on the day of arrival. Visits are also welcome during the summer programme if we are given at least 24 hours’ notice.
