Covid-19 Safety in our Buildings
We care about the safety and wellbeing of all our students, staff, visitors and contractors.
We have put in place a comprehensive plan and guidance to reduce the risks of contracting Covid-19 for everyone, through changes to the way that we teach, how we use our buildings and how we interact with each other. Our risk assessment is continually reviewed to ensure that it is relevant and up to date.
In order to keep our community as safe as possible, we kindly ask that anyone with confirmed or suspected Covid-19 refrains from coming into the building for any reason.
Staff and students should follow the online absence reporting process.
Continuing Covid-19 Safety Measures
- Regular cleaning will take place across the conservatoire and we request that all staff and students clean surfaces, equipment and resources that they have come into contact with.
- Hand washing/sanitisation stations are positioned around campus.
- Face coverings are strongly encouraged in communal areas, unless exempt (corridors, study spaces, the Café:Bar, the Rooftop Bar, the Library and any service counter).
- You are welcome to wear a face covering at all times on-campus if you choose, including in teaching settings.
- Counters are fitted with Perspex screens
- Social distancing is no longer a formal requirement, however we ask that our whole community are mindful and respectful of each other's space.

Tackling Antisocial Behaviour and Noise Nuisance
We expect our students to conduct themselves at all times in a manner that demonstrates respect for the conservatoire, its students and staff, and members of the wider community. Every student is an ambassador for the conservatoire and, accordingly, is expected to behave in a way that enhances its reputation.
Leeds Conservatoire works in partnership with the city’s other higher education institutions, the Leeds City Council Antisocial Behaviour Team and West Yorkshire Police to tackle noise nuisance and antisocial behaviour.
How to Report an Issue with Antisocial Behaviour or Noise Nuisance
If you are experiencing an issue with antisocial behaviour or noise nuisance from domestic properties, you should in the first instance contact the Leeds City Council Antisocial Behaviour Team:
The city’s higher education institutions work closely with the Antisocial Behaviour Team, but to enable prompt action where student residents are involved, we encourage you to also share information with the Neighbourhood Helpline in one of the following ways:
- Complete this online form
- Call 0113 343 1064 (24 hour voicemail service)
- Email the Neighbourhood Helpline
The Neighbourhood Helpline aims to respond to emails and calls within 48 hours, but this may be longer during busy periods and at weekends or holidays. Details of complaints are shared between Helpline partners to help identify students living in the properties concerned.
Allegations of student misconduct in relation to the behaviours set out in the Student Code of Conduct will be considered in accordance with the conservatoire’s Student Conduct and Disciplinary Policy.
