Children on campus

For reasons of safety, when children under the age of 12 need to be brought into University buildings, it is required that the children must be closely supervised at all times. The University will require any children who are not so supervised to be removed from the building. Under no circumstances will children under the age of 12 be permitted in workshops and science department laboratories. The University accepts no liability for injury or harm to children.

Visitors between the age of 12 and 17 years will be permitted to enter University buildings, other than the Library, provided that they are in a supervised group. No parties or receptions for such groups will be permitted unless the room booked exits directly onto a square.

This is taken from the University's Regulation on General Conduct, statement 7.18.
