The health safety and wellbeing of our students is our top priority. We continue to monitor the situation closely and are proactively following healthcare and government advice from the World Health Organization, HSE, and the Department of Foreign affairs to help ensure we are effectively managing the implications of coronavirus and responding as necessary.

Within our residences:

We keep a stock of hand sanitiser for you to use in each of our residences

There are plastic screens in all receptions

All staff continue to wear masks in communal areas

We’re frequently cleaning all communal and high footfall areas, following our strict COVID-19 sanitising protocol.

Cleaning schedules, sanitising stations and social distancing guidance are available to ensure we continue to care for each other and keep our communities safe.

A visitor questionnaire and sign in will be required to ensure our guests do not have any symptoms which may put our community at risk.

We are running all events virtually via our Instagram and Facebook channels and are slowly re-introducing in-person events

Our teams are available 24/7 to provide you with dedicated support and ensure you stay safe and well.

All of our buildings have 24/7 CCTV and secure entry points.

Our teams have been trained on COVID-19 secure protocol, adhere to latest official government guidance, and ensure appropriate social distancing, sanitising and safeguarding measures are in place.

We strongly recommend that all of our students follow the most recent guidance from the HSE and the World Health Organization.

It is perfectly understandable that you might be anxious or worried about coronavirus and the impact it could have on your life, particularly because this might include being asked to stay at home or to avoid other people.

Mind has created a guide here focusing on staying mentally healthy in light of the current situation and we would encourage any students who feel concerned to read the information carefully.

The NHS has also issued the following advice to assist you in looking after your mental health by staying mentally and physically active during this time, such as:

1. Look for ideas of exercises you can do at home

2. Spend time doing things you enjoy – this might include reading, cooking, other indoor hobbies or listening to the radio or watching TV programmes

3. Try to eat healthy, well-balanced meals, drink enough water and try to avoid smoking, alcohol and drugs

4. Keep your windows open to let in fresh air, get some natural sunlight if you can, or get outside into the garden (where possible)

5. You can also speak to your residence team about it and they can help with local resources, groups and university support too.

Our response is still in line with government guidance to isolate the flat or studio, employ track, trace and test to the flat or studio and all those they may have come into contact with.

We also carry out extra deep cleaning of the residence and common areas and close communal space. We then carefully manage spaces once they reopen.
