Hostel accomodation policies

Residents of railway provided accomodation are expected to help keep the building clean and tidy, especially making sure the kitchen area is kept in a suitable condition.
In addition to this general common sense requirement, two specific policies exist relating to under-16s and under-18s respectively. These policies are reproduced here.

Conditions of residence for those under 16 years of age

Persons under the age of 16 may not reside in Society controlled accommodation without being accompanied by an adult family member, or by a mature adult willing to accept responsibility for them on a day-to-day basis. The adult must be acceptable to the Hostel Warden, and must not be the Hostel Warden, or any of his deputies.

Alcohol policy

Anyone under the age of 18 found to be under the influence of, or in the posession of, alcoholic drink or illegal drugs in Society or Company controlled accommodation will be banned from residing in Society and Company controlled acommodation for a period of three months, and for a period of twelve months for any subsequent offence.
The ban is automatic and non-negotiable.
Anyone aged 18 or over, knowingly supplying alcoholic drink or illegal drugs to anyone under 18 will be subject to the same ban.
