How to make a complaint

It is hoped that most complaints can be resolved informally but directly with the member of staff or team concerned. If your complaint relates to hall matters (such as cleaning or maintenance issues), please contact your Hall Supervisor in the first instance. Complaints regarding welfare or pastoral issues in halls should be directed to the hall Warden. Should you have concerns relating to your room allocation, you should contact the Student Hub. If you are in any doubt as to whom to refer your complaint, please seek advice from Student Hub staff.

If you are still unsatisfied If you are unable to resolve your issue informally, residents in halls can contact the Village Manager (contact details can be found within your halls) or the Student Hub Manager so that he or she has a chance to put things right. Thereafter, if you are still not satisfied with how your complaint has been handled, you can escalate your complaint to the Head of Residential Services, Head of Commercial Business and Student Support or the Director of Campus Services – click here for contact information.
