Student conduct

We work hard in King’s Residences to create an inclusive environment where students feel safe and supported. We expect all of our students to do the same and show respect and kindness towards your fellow flatmates, peers and staff at the College. We operate a zero tolerance policy to disrespectful behaviour of any kind, including bullying, harassment and any kind of discriminatory or offensive behaviour. It is our community responsibility to take a stand to end bullying and harassment, and we encourage you to report any instances to your Reception team, Welfare Lead or directly to welfare@kcl.ac.uk.

We also have a bespoke Residences Disciplinary Policy where you can find out more about how residences are committed to providing a safe environment during your stay.
