Details

Some students take drugs. And they often take them in their accommodation. Allowing this to happen can put accommodation providers in a legally precarious position. But how can we be expected to stop it? What should we do when we discover drug use within our properties? What are universities currently doing to tackle this issues? This session will look at these questions, as well as the influences of Universities UK taskforce around reducing harm and tackling supply.
