Section for the community

Throughout the year our students get involved in a variety of different community projects and work with local police officers to ensure that the community is a safe place to live. Over the past year, our students have undertaken a range of initiatives from mentoring local school children to bringing free Mexican cuisine to Lenton.

How to report an issue in the community

The University of Nottingham takes a strong stance on anti-social behaviour (ASB) and may take action to address any concerns that arise as a result. In addition to this, our students agree to a strict Code of Discipline.

 

 

If you do experience any issues or think there’s anything that the university should know about, the following support is available to you:

Non-emergencies
