Appendix A

Drugs, Alcohol and other banned items

 

To clarify our position on certain key elements of the college rules, please pay particular attention to this list concerning things which according to the Terms of Conditions of Residence and the College Rules are NOT ALLOWED:

 

The college has strict rules which will be enforced concerning several issues:

 

Drugs: Illegal drugs, substances containing CBD, and substances viewed as being new psychoactive substances (also known as legal highs) are not allowed on the college premises, and students found in possession or under the influence of drugs will be subject to disciplinary procedure, suspension and possible loss of their place in college residential accommodation. The college also reserves the right to inform the police and will inform parents.

Please note that the above restrictions also include drug taking accessorises, and paraphernalia related to drug taking. For example, grinders and pipes.

 

If wardens suspect drug use, they have the right to request that the student/s in question undergo a drug test to determine whether a prohibited substance has been mis-used. If a student refuses to undergo this test, it will be deemed that a prohibited substance has been taken and disciplinary action will be enforced. Such action will result in parental contact (if under the age of 18, or deemed vulnerable) and an immediate college suspension pending further investigation.

 

 

Smoking: Smoking is not allowed in ANY of the college buildings. Smoking in buildings is a criminal offence. The disciplinary procedure (including fines) will be imposed for breaking this rule. Smoking must be within permitted areas/shelters.

 

Animals: Animals, birds and livestock are not allowed in any part of the College buildings (including hostel accommodation) without staff permission. This includes animal remains.

 

Firearms and Offensive Weapons: Offensive weapons are not to be brought onto college property. Permission to bring a licensed shotgun onto the premises may be discussed with the Principal, but is subject to strict rules on storage and use.

Please note replica weapons that can cause potential harm are not permitted on site. Re-Enactment weapons must be stored off site or in a locked safe place of storage and agreed prior to arrival.

 

Alcohol: Alcohol is only permitted in the licenced areas of the College (and for a trial period the over 18 rooms for Term 1). No student should attempt to purchase and/or provide alcohol to any under 18 student/s. If a member of staff discover alcohol in the possession of an under 18 student/s, the alcohol will be confiscate and dispose of. Following this, an investigation will be launched in to how and who may have supplied the alcohol. This will include police involvement if deemed necessary.

 

Students must not drink alcohol during the day as this could pose a considerable risk, especially when working with animals and machinery. Plumpton strongly encourages responsible drinking at all times. Students must be aware of the legal implications and dangers of being over the limit the following morning. Operating machinery or driving agricultural vehicle is illegal under the influence of alcohol. Students failing to adhere to this will face police involvement, potential loss of licence, and removal from course and residence.

 

When open, over 18 students may purchase alcohol from the college bar. Our bar area is our only licensed area on campus, because of this, when the bar is open, only alcohol purchased from the bar may be consumed in the bar common room area. All privately purchased alcohol must remain in the over 18 rooms and consumed there.

 

If wardens suspect that an under 18 students has consumed alcohol, they have the right to request that the student/s in question undergo a breathalyser test to determine whether alcohol has been consumed. If a student refuses to undergo this test, it will be deemed that alcohol has been consumed and the disciplinary action for alcohol consumption will be enforced. Such action will result in parental contact and an immediate residential suspension pending further investigation.

 

Candles and Joss-sticks: Because they are a fire risk, candles, oil burners, joss/incense sticks or similar are not allowed and will be confiscated where found.

 

Overnight Guests: The College is only responsible for the health and safety requirements of residents; therefore, guests are not allowed overnight. If non-residents are found staying on campus, the resident whose room it is will be charged £20 per person per night accommodation fee for the guest, and may be subject to disciplinary procedure.

 

            Supervision Levels – parents please note:

 

When leaving the campus overnight, students are asked to inform Student Services staff if they will not be on site overnight. In practice students are free to return at any time and it will not be possible to monitor precisely the time of return. Any parent who wishes to limit their son/daughter’s travel off site must discuss the arrangements with Student Services.

 

A member of the Student Services team will contact you if we have concerns about the welfare or behaviour of your son/daughter. We will not contact you for minor transgressions of College rules unless specifically requested to do so.

 

If there are any issues that you would like to discuss with us that will help us to monitor the wellbeing of your child, please feel free to contact us:

 

Student Services 01273 892 085

 

We will be better able to care for you or your son/daughter if we have as much background information as possible about any medical, emotional or any other issues that may either effect or be worrying them. Failure to report on medical issues that leave a student at risk will potentially revoke their accommodation agreement.

 

If you need to contact us out of hours in an emergency, please phone the student services number 01273 892085, and if necessary leave a message for the warden.
