Update: Review of Bush House opening

In July 2019, we published an open letter from Senior Vice Principal, Arts & Sciences, Professor Evelyn Welch in response to the review of security arrangements for the opening of Bush House on 19 March 2019.  

As stated in the open letter, King’s accepted all the recommendations from the review. As a result, work will focus on three key areas: 

• creating an environment that strikes the right balance between security and safety and the right to peaceful protest;   
• gaining a full understanding of the challenges that maintain this balance poses to our security and reception staff 
• assessing our policies relating to misconduct to ensure clear guidance outlining our behavioural expectations of our community is available for everyone
